Wouldn't it help Detroit out a lot if the public Schools have Vocational trade programs?

We Answered:

This is very expensive and right now and for the near future far too much equipment disappears from Detroit schools.

With adequate reading, writing and math one is equipped to learn better and perform better at ANY job, a huge plus that far exceeds ANYTHING that could be accomplished vocationally, most especially in Detroit.

There is a HUMONGOUS failing in the 'THREE 'R"s' here. No one maximizes the computer opportunity because a huge percentage of these are stolen, a frightful continuing expense.

A work-study program for high school grads would be FAR better.

Additionally, release of those in prisons could be contingent on, or advanced by, learning accomplished during prison, even involving high school diploma.

I am not considering the few prisoners who have degrees or are very, very smart here.

Yes, there is a huge dropout factor. Some are seeing great opportunity in crime, some think it is uncool or 'white' to study. So more black role models are very helpful, they should visit often.

The school work could be made more interesting in many ways, something quality teachers can do,.

Problem is black teachers who are willing to work here are greatly needed.

It is hard to find quality or to maximize it in school districts everywhere, not just in Detroit.

So, a program that shows teachers how to make learning more interesting and how to improve their own competence would help.

'Teaching' courses are NOT acceptable to me. I want to SEE teachers who KNOW how to do some things, not more 'teaching' credits.

The teachers here combine this into expensive, frequent, and short FUN and banquet sessions, or excessive travel.

So, avoid THAT, and FIND more teachers who have BACKGROUND of SKILLED WORK, 9--10 years minimum. NOT TEACHING. Talking about construction, electric, chemistry, flying, sailing, military, small business, communications, writing, geology and a host of other things.

TEACHERS who can DO SOMETHING.

how can i get out of vocational education @ special ed?

We Answered:

Don't listen to this speech therapist because what he/she told you is a load of horsesh*t and nothing more.

You can attend any community college and get those very same classes. By attending a 2-year college not only will you earn college credit so you can eventually attend the university of your choice but it will be a whole lot cheaper and you will have learned the very same material. How does he/she think the students who are in their 30's, 40's, or older are able to go back to college and earn their college degrees after being out of school for as long as they had? Your speech therapist does not know what he/she is rambling on about.

In fact, even some major universities (Old Dominion University is one of them) that offers remedial courses, such as algebra and writing. I know because I had to take a remedial course in writing while attending O.D.U. before continuing with my studies and I was 26 years old at the time.
