Oh I get it. I’m used to calling them vocational or professional schools. My high school sort of has the opposite thing. We used to have a branch called the Berkeley Alternative High School, which was for the “trouble kids” that the normal high school couldn’t handle anymore. It’s even on a totally different piece of land (10 blocks away). Last year, the district gave them some computers and changed the name to Berkeley Technology Academy (B-tech). People who hadn’t known about the history of the school immediately thought that B-tech was for geniuses, but everyone else knew who it was really for.</p>
