Is college the only option after high school? In this article, we explore alternatives to the traditional college path, including real-life experience, entrepreneurship, vocational training, and the trades. We discuss the benefits of skipping college, share success stories of individuals who took different routes, and highlight high-paying jobs that don’t require a degree. Join the conversation on how to support students in exploring all their post-secondary options.
In this episode of The State of Education podcast, we dive into the growing crisis of Teacher Flight—the mass exodus of public school teachers across the U.S.—and its implications for students, parents, and the future of education. We explore why teachers are leaving the profession in record numbers, the impact of increasing workloads and mental health struggles, and why efforts by teachers’ unions are falling short. We also share practical tips on how parents and communities can support their local educators, helping ease the pressure on teachers and ensure a better quality of education for their children.
