I live in the bum fuck middle of nowhere on the edge of Appalachia and I push students to whatever theyre best suited towards. I work at a combined middle school/high school and talk to my students about whether they should go to a vocational school or collegeeven though Im not a guidance counselor. Good teachers will always care about their students and foster their growth.
The area is also EXTREMELY poor. However, students that are smart and/or talented enough can even start college or trade school early through government programs. Given how poor my area is, Im betting most other districts have that option. Hell, I started college at 15.
So the options for both are there, and responsible teachers will help their students explore their various options. I havent seen much you have to go to college mentality (if any) from my colleagues. Ive suffered through some really excruciatingly awful jobs that were a terrible fit for me, so I encourage kids to do what makes them happy.
