RE: Question 1: School to work

everyone seems to have gone home for the week?

here is a thought on question 1.  I have input on the others that I will introduce as separate threads.

1.	Should California monitor students' success in making the transition from formal education to gainful employment?
>>Absolutely!<< 
1a.     Why or why not? 
>>If we do not know where our students go after school, we cannot possibly design a program to prepare them for that.  As of now, for example, the majority of the political interest appears to be focused on preparation for college, in spite of the fact that less than 30% of students actually complete any postsecondary education program.<<
o	Should this be a part of the accountability system in a Master Plan? 
>>Definitely<<
o	How could this monitoring be done? 
>>Enhanced school reporting and data entry to an anonymous publicly available database, Hire a staff to do a 100% canvassing of all high school grads as well as students who have left h.s. without completing the h.s. degree<<
