520 1 $a"In College Is Not for Everyone, Louis Rosen uses statistical data and current research to prove that most jobs in the United States today do not require a college education or high academic skills, and he accuses current educational policymakers of being elitist and making policies that emphasize an "educate-the-best-and-shoot-the-rest" philosophy."
520 8 $a"This book provides insight into the current pressure from national and state legislators on school policies and curriculum, presents research related to the success of schools and their contribution to the economy, defends the rights of students who choose not go to college, makes the case for returning vocational programs to high schools and community colleges, and discusses data on the number of special education students in the United States and ways in which drop-out statistics are being manipulated by school districts and state departments of education. College Is Not for Everyone is a valuable resource for teachers, school administrators, school board members, state legislators, researchers, students, and parents."--Jacket.
