Grads ponder options

Darnell said the armed forces are also increasingly
attractive to high school graduates as employers,
because of the scholarships available through the
ROTC program, increased pay in the volunteer army,
and technical training available.
Donald Dean, assistant principle for student services
at Lincoln High School, said he thinks the declining
birth rate will have a greater impact on the enrollment
decline than a drop in the number of high school
graduates continuing their education.
In addition, Dean said a changing view of what
society expects of high school graduates may be
contributing to the projected decline.
Opinions changing
"Maybe society is saying not everybody needs to go
to college to find satisfying work and a good living,"
Dean said. "Society used to say it was the thing to do
(going to college), but is now more selective and
realizes that there are a variety of ways to enter the job
market."
He said the reasons seniors give for not continuing
their schooling vary.
"Some say college just isn't for them. We have a lot
of kids now who are honest with themselves, those,
who, in the past, might have gone to college. Some are
opting out because they don't see the need for it,"
Dean said.
He said other students refuse to continue because of
the expense of postsecondary schooling.
And, he said some "simply don't have the talent.
They couldn't compete in the college environment."
Dean said a program in the city's schools
emphasizing career education has made more students
consider other ways to prepare for a job.
He said the program, which is designed to make
education more relevant to the student by teaching job
skills, consists of work and shop classes, such as
automobile mechanics.
"We are not trying to help kids make the decision
between going to work or to college. We say that
everybody is going to work, but we recognize that
everyone may choose different alternatives in prepar
ing for work," Dean said.
