Trade school suffer from lack of enrollment because the public schools are relentlessly pushing college for everyone. It is drilled into these children from an early age that college is their goal, nothing less. It’s pure 100% brainwashing and propaganda.
Yep. But let's suppose Trump is able to change the narrative. Suppose he could convince the states to give the same weight to carpentry proficiency as they now give to algebra proficiency.
That would certainly help Make America Great Again.
“Trade school suffer from lack of enrollment because the public schools are relentlessly pushing college for everyone,”
Most tradesmen in the 20th century wanted their kids to attend college. It was seen as a way out of toil and hardship. Truth is, many can benefit from a vo-tech education. Especially today when college is so squishy.
Personally, college wasn’t for me. (Back when you actually had to study and write papers and stuff) I managed a very good career, never unemployed, even when my PhD brother was sacking wind unable to find any work for over a year. The country needs people who can fix things, not just talk about them.
Not putting college down. We need doctors and engineers, but college isn’t for everybody, and vocational school should always be considered a worthy alternative.

It goes to the heart of the problem
Most C&T programs offer articulation agreements with community colleges allowing students to earn advanced credits to community colleges and post-secondary technical or medical schools. Were it not for the strong support of local industry, and offering adult training as well, these schools struggle to survive. Hopefully MAGA will improve this situation.
