[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 483526, member: 8831"] vocational programs arent what they used to be...its typically not one or the other anymore. i'd assume she still has to take the core (academic) graduation requirement course too. i would make it a point to go to the voc school open house and/or speak to a guidance counselor about all of your questions and concerns--you might be pleasantly surprised. some voTechs are *really* impressive with their offerings, and often DO have reciprocity with community colleges.... but i'd find out every.single.detail of whats offered in your district before making a firm decision. as time goes on, i'm personally really starting to see the enormous value to "trade" type educations--i'm all for any kind of skill based training that can translate into a life long job. these days, an (overpriced) uni degree isnt necessarily the only path to success. oh, and ps: one of the biggest challenges i personally struggle with is seperating out *my hopes and dreams* from difficult child's...i *think* things should be a particular way, and often mine has the wisdom to know that it cant be that way. i just have to remember to listen :-) [/QUOTE]
