So my school made the newspaper twice in two weeks. One was about the vo-tech high school we kinda mooch land off of. because it's a ridiculously awesome high school. "advanced" education. sciences, maths, music. insanity. they have a microbiology lab, an electron microscope...preparing these kids for ivy league schools that they'll be paying off the first 10 years they start working...IF they start working.

A lot of the article was about how much money the vo-tech high school spends. easily like...a half million more than other high schools in the area.

Then on wednesday of this week there was another article in a different newspaper, about the adult education program. The one I'm in. It starts off as you would expect, it explains why the school is closing. "difficulty with getting students to apply and financing." which is complete and utter horse-shit.

We only recently started having difficulty with getting new students, primarily due to the fact that they are no longer accepting students. They stopped accepting students for plumbing and carpentry in november. they told the hvac and electrical teachers they wouldn't be accepting any more new students in january. The classes were filled to capacity...ALL of them.

Plumbing now has 4 students in it. out of the normal 20. my HVAC class, because it's a 10 month course still managed to have around 18 people in it out of the customary 23-29 (29 was excessive and left no room to breath let alone do any hands on training)

It went on to explain that part of the problem was that the adult education program was spending too much money. we were allotted 1.12 million dollars, and apparently use 1.5+ million...whoa boy. Guess what. if that's the case, then the problem is fairly simple to balance out. find the fat in the system, cut it out, and increase the price of admissions.

Every other tech school in the area, ITT, Lincoln Tech, HHK Tech, whatever...for 1 year tuition it's at least $20,000. The schools are all shiny and polished, but it's bullshit. you learn book work and study, but no practice. Adult Education, $1000 a month.

The other difference between my school and those other schools...my school has a 95-100% job placement record before or upon completion. The other schools have a 0-60% success rate.

I'd love to see who's stealing money, or who the bribes are coming from. 'cuz really...how can, in this uncertain economic time, you shut down a school that puts people to work, and gets them off of welfare, and unemployment, and at the same time give the superintendent of a vo-tech high school a bonus on top of his $300,000 a year salary? ARRR!!!
sushii:
1) Movie in comment to me sounds utterly crazy! Hahah!
2) Hope you have recovered from sickiness by now!
3) Your school closing = suckage. Stupid suckage that makes no sense.
