My child isn’t ready to make career decisions in the eight or ninth grade. Why are you trying to box my kids in?
It is not boxing a child in to encourage them to take more rigorous academic courses or to teach them to use applied strategies that are effective with a variety of learning styles. We are starting a thought process that will help them be prepared for whatever they decide to do in the future. At a minimum, we are hoping to help your child obtain enough technical and academic skills in one concentrated area so they will be competitive in the workforce and will be able to work at more than minimum wage while attending college or until they figure out what they want to do as a career.
