In the next debate Sink needs to promote vocational education for kids who don't want to go to
college as a way to prepare them for the workforce. So many conservatives, liberals, and moderates see vocational education as an important part of our schools but the GOP has ignored it for the past decade. I can almost guarantee that the candidate who stands up and says we need our high schools to prepare kids for college or a vocation will get the swing vote!!!!

There are a ton of kids sitting in high schools who are taking general education classes who can't do anything with their diploma because these classes don't prepare them for college, but they can't get a good job holding that diploma because they lack a skill.

We have spent a decade bringing college level classes to high school. Now it's time to bring vocational education back into the schools and have two types of diploma. One that says your're ready for college and one that says you're ready for work.

Testing testing and more testing is not the solution but that's what Rick Scott wants!
