Retention

Public

Discussion:

I have observed through the years that students whose parents have pushed them into this decision and haven't decided this on their own do poorly in school. I work for a vocational college and too many parents feel that their child needs some kind of education. At lot parents encourage their child to attend a vocational college but don't allow the student to have input in this decision. The student has to be committed to be succesful. The program is hard enough with the committment.
