<p>Greenbutton: I wish our students had the setup you describe. Being able to do a bit of that crossover exploratory stuff might make it easier for students to make a true informed decision about what they want to do post high school. Also, it would enable kids going either the vocational or college route to customize their preparation somewhat.</p>
<p>For example, my college-bound son would have loved to have been able to take some computer programming courses for his required “practical arts” credits instead of the mostly stupid offerings that were available at the regular high school.</p>
