Totally agree.  The story does not say how many admitted to colleges from DOE schools actually graduated or even lasted a year.  Nationally 3/4 drop out and one quarter graduate.  And, it is clear that career readiness, not college readiness alone, should be the goal.  There are thousands of jobs out here for skilled workers.  Rail is employing many Mexicans and mainlanders as local graduates don't want to work or have no skills.  Stop pushing the college to unemployment button.  Work on career readiness and job training.
