Truthseeker: More Trade Ed, Not Liberal Ed

I would have a much easier time voting yes on education when the district wants to spend money on the many, many kids who need an alternate course to follow. That course is a technical rather than a purely academic path. This area screams out for more technical training. Here we are creating a service based economy, yet cater to traditional college-based preparation for professional careers. Let’s get some trade schools established. This is one avenue that will allow many of our sons and daughters to actually stay here in the area and make a life instead of leaving for pastures more suited to their skill sets. Ask Stephanie Bennett at the Bridge Academy about the kids she salvages from the high schools who are not cut out for a “normal” high school curriculum. There is a need and it needs to be addressed. I wish the same concerned citizens who took Paul Burke at NIC to task over this issue would take that same message to our public school directors.
