Vicki:
Your programs at ElDorado are excellent. However internships are not a substitute for strong, well-integrated Technology Education, or enough of a solution to prepare our youth for the workplace.
>What they DO is motivate, show relevance, and build a sense of validity.
>What they do NOT do very well is teach technical knowledge and skills.
> Recommendations 12 (and seq) and 25 would completely remove effective technology and vocational curricula from the high schools, in favor of a "college-oriented" curriculum, dictated by the University of California, and that completely ignores the real needs of 70% of our young students.
> ElDorado County has one of the best Vo-Tech programs in the state. I hope they are connected to your school-to-work program! You need each other...
