I like the dialogue on accountability. The focus on transition to job is
good idea. Yet I see two problems to overcome. One, the excesive
focus/prestige alloted to the 1/3 who go off to college. That has been and
is the measure of a schools success. Two, who gets hired is a complicated
process. How do you measure the success of a school that trains well for
jobs that are not present in that town, I'm thinking of places like in the
central valley where unemployment reaches 50%. Still, the effort to change
the focus, has to be better as long as we look at the actual world these
students have to face and prepare them for that.
