How Vocational-Technical Schools Are Helping Students Achieve the American Dream
The Pioneer Institute is out with a new book, "Hands-On Achievement: Massachusetts' National Model Vocational-Technical Schools," which finds that vocational-technical high schools have lower dropout rates and on-par test scores with traditional high schools.\nThe Boston-based think tank also makes the case that these high-performing schools in Massachusetts should serve as a national model, both to address the student loan crisis and a shortage of skilled labor in America.\nJoining us on "The Daily Signal Podcast" are Jamie Gass, Pioneer Institute's director of the Center for School Reform, and David Ferreira, a former vocational-technical school administrator and teacher who edited "Hands-On Achievement."\nOn today's show, we also cover these stories:\n\nTreasury Secretary Janet Yellen tells lawmakers she expects inflation to remain high.\n\nThe Department of Homeland Security warns Americans that there is a heightened threat environment for political violence\n\nThree major TV networks\u2014ABC, CBS, and NBC\u2014plan to air a congressional hearing hosted by the Jan. 6 committee in primetime.\n\nListen to the podcast or read the lightly edited transcript at DailySignal.com.\n Hosted on Acast.
