She accepted a soccer scholarship to Texas four years in advance. CreditCooper Neill for The New York TimesSANFORD, Fla. — Before Haley Berg was done with middle school, she had the numbers for 16 college soccer coaches programmed into the iPhone she protected with a Justin Bieber case.She was all of 14, but Hales, as her friends call her, was already weighing offers to attend the University of Colorado, Texas A&M and the University of Texas, free of charge.Haley is not a once-in-a-generation talent like LeBron James. She just happens to be a very good soccer player, and that is now valuable enough to set off a frenzy among college coaches, even when — or especially when — the athlete in question has not attended a day of high school. For Haley, the process ended last summer, a few weeks before ninth grade began, when she called the coach at Texas to accept her offer of a scholarship four years later.“When I started in seventh grade, I didn’t think they would talk to me that early,” Haley, now 15, said after a tournament late last month in Central Florida, where Texas coaches showed up to watch her juke past defenders, blond ponytail bouncing behind.“Even the coaches told me, ‘Wow, we’re recruiting an eighth grader,’ ” she said.In today’s sports world, students are offered full scholarships before they have taken their first College Boards, or even the Preliminary SAT exams. Coaches at colleges large and small flock to watch 13- and 14-year-old girls who they hope will fill out their future rosters. This is happening despite N.C.A.A. rules that appear to explicitly prohibit it.The heated race to recruit ever younger players has drastically accelerated over the last five years, according to the coaches involved. It is generally traced back to the professionalization of college and youth sports, a shift that has transformed soccer and other recreational sports from after-school activities into regimens requiring strength coaches and managers.The practice has attracted little public notice, except when it has occasionally happened in football and in basketball. But a review of recruiting data and interviews with coaches indicate that it is actually occurring much more frequently in sports that never make a dime for their colleges.Early scouting has also become more prevalent in women’s sports than men’s, in part because girls mature sooner than boys. But coaches say it is also an unintended consequence of Title IX, the federal law that requires equal spending on men’s and women’s sports. Colleges have sharply increased the number of women’s sports scholarships they offer, leading to a growing number of coaches chasing talent pools that have not expanded as quickly. In soccer, for instance, there are 322 women’s soccer teams in the highest division, up from 82 in 1990. There are now 204 men’s soccer teams.“In women’s soccer, there are more scholarships than there are good players,” said Peter Albright, the coach at Richmond and a regular critic of early recruiting. “In men’s sports, it’s the opposite.”While women’s soccer is generally viewed as having led the way in early recruiting, lacrosse, volleyball and field hockey have been following and occasionally surpassing it, and other women’s and men’s sports are becoming involved each year when coaches realize a possibility of getting an edge.Precise numbers are difficult to come by, but an analysis done for by the National Collegiate Scouting Association, a company that consults with families on the recruiting process, shows that while only 5 percent of men’s basketball players and 4 percent of football players who use the company commit to colleges early — before the official recruiting process begins — the numbers are 36 percent in women’s lacrosse and 24 percent in women’s soccer.Berg at a recent tournament.CreditSarah Beth licksteen for The New York TimesAt universities with elite teams like North Carolina and Texas, the rosters are almost entirely filled by the time official recruiting begins.While the fierce competition for good female players encourages the pursuit of younger recruits, men’s soccer has retained a comparably relaxed rhythm — only 8 percent of N.C.S.A.’s male soccer athletes commit early.For girls and boys, the trend is gaining steam despite the unhappiness of many of the coaches and parents who are most heavily involved, many of whom worry about the psychological and physical toll it is taking on youngsters.“It’s detrimental to the whole development of the sport, and to the girls,” Haley’s future coach at Texas, Angela Kelly, said at the Florida tournament.The difficulty, according to Ms. Kelly and many other coaches, is that if they do not do it, other coaches will, and will snap up all of the best players. Many parents and girls say that committing early ensures they do not miss out on scholarship money.After the weekend in Florida, the coach at Virginia, Steve Swanson, said, “To me, it’s the singular biggest problem in college athletics.”The N.C.A.A. rules designed to prevent all of this indicate that coaches cannot call players until July after their junior year of high school. Players are not supposed to commit to a college until signing a letter of intent in the spring of their senior year.But these rules have enormous and widely understood loopholes. The easiest way for coaches to circumvent the rules is by contacting the students through their high school or club coaches. Once the students are alerted, they can reach out to the college coaches themselves with few limits on what they can talk about or how often they can call.Haley said she was having phone conversations with college coaches nearly every night during the eighth grade.‘It’s Killing All of Us’The early recruiting machine was on display during the Florida tournament, where Haley played alongside hundreds of other teenage girls at a sprawling complex of perfectly mowed fields.A Sunday afternoon game between 14-year-olds from Texas and Ohio drew coaches from Miami, Arizona, Texas and U.C.L.A. — the most recent Division I national champion. Milling among them was the most storied coach in women’s soccer, Anson Dorrance of North Carolina, who wore a dark hat and sunglasses that made him look like a poker player as he scanned the field.Mr. Dorrance, who has won 22 national championships as a coach, said he was spending his entire weekend focusing on the youngest girls at the tournament, those in the eighth and ninth grades. Mr. Dorrance is credited with being one of the first coaches to look at younger players, but he says he is not happy about the way the practice has evolved.Libby Bassett, an assistant at South Carolina, was among hundreds of college soccer coaches at a recent tournament in Sanford, Fla. Many were scouting eighth and ninth graders.CreditSarah Beth Glicksteen for The New York Times“It’s killing all of us,” he said.Mr. Dorrance’s biggest complaint is that he is increasingly making early offers to players who do not pan out years later.“If you can’t make a decision on one or two looks, they go to your competitor, and they make an offer,” he said. “You are under this huge pressure to make a scholarship offer on their first visit.”The result has been a growing number of girls who come to play for him at North Carolina and end up sitting on the bench.“It’s killing the kids that go places and don’t play,” he said. “It’s killing the schools that have all the scholarships tied up in kids who can’t play at their level. It’s just, well, it’s actually rather destructive.”The organizer of the Florida event, the Elite Clubs National League, was set up a few years ago to help bring together the best girls’ soccer teams from around the country, largely for the sake of recruiters. At the recent event, in an Orlando suburb, an estimated 600 college coaches attended as 158 teams played on 17 fields over the course of three days.Scouts were given a hospitality tent as well as a special area next to the team benches, not accessible to parents, to set up their folding chairs. Nearly every youth club had a pamphlet — handed out by a parent during the games — with a head shot, academic records, soccer achievements and personal contact information for each player.While the older teams, for girls in their final two years of high school, drew crowds of recruiters, they were generally from smaller and less competitive universities. Coaches from colleges vying for national championships, like Mr. Dorrance, spent most of their weekend watching the youngest age group.Despite the rush, there is a growing desire among many coaching groups to push back. At a meeting of women’s lacrosse coaches in December, nearly every group session was dedicated to complaints about how quickly the trend was moving and discussions about how it might be reversed. In 2012, the Intercollegiate Men’s Lacrosse Coaches Association proposed rule changes to the N.C.A.A. to curtail early recruiting. But the N.C.A.A. declined to take them up, pointing to a moratorium on new recruiting rules. (At the same time, though, the N.C.A.A. passed new rules allowing unlimited texting and calls to basketball recruits at an earlier age.)Marc Stein's NewsletterHe's covered Jordan. He's covered Kobe. And LeBron vs. the Warriors. Go behind the N.B.A.'s curtain with the league's foremost expert.“The most frustrating piece is that we haven’t been able to get any traction with the N.C.A.A.,” said Dom Starsia, the men’s lacrosse coach at Virginia. “There’s a sense that the N.C.A.A. doesn’t want to address this topic at all.”In an interview, Steve Mallonee, the managing director of academic and membership affairs for the N.C.A.A., reiterated his organization’s moratorium on new recruiting rules. He said the new rules on texting and calling were allowed because they were a “presidential initiative.”Mr. Mallonee said the N.C.A.A. did not track early recruiting because it happened outside of official channels. He added that new rules trying to restrict the practice would be hard to enforce because of the unofficial nature of the commitments.“We are trying to be practical and realistic and not adopt a bunch of rules that are unenforceable and too difficult to monitor,” he said.Early CommitmentsThe National Collegiate Scouting Association helps athletes navigate the recruiting process. Here is the percentage of N.C.S.A. clients in each sport who received and accepted a scholarship offer before the official recruiting process began.Club Coaches in Key RoleThe early recruiting system has given significant power to club coaches, who serve as gatekeepers and agents for their players.One of the most outspoken critics of this process is Rory Dames, the coach of one of the most successful youth club teams, the Chicago Eclipse. In Florida, Mr. Dames kept a watchful eye on his players between games, at the pool at the Marriott where they were staying. As the 14- and 15-year-old girls went down the water slide, he listed the colleges that had called him to express interest in each one.“Notre Dame, North Carolina and Florida State have called about her,” he said as one ninth grader barreled down the slide.Another slid down behind her. “U.N.C., U.C.L.A. and I can’t even remember who else called me about her,” he said.Mr. Dames said that he kept a good relationship with those programs but that he generally refused to connect colleges with girls before their sophomore year in high school, when he thinks they are too young to be making decisions about what college to attend.Some colleges, though, do not take no for an answer and try to get to his players through team managers or other parents. After one such email was forwarded to him, Mr. Dames shot back his own message to the coach: “How you think this reflects positively on your university I would love to hear.”He did not hear back. Mr. Dames said that when his players wait, they find scholarship money is still available.Most club coaches, though, are more cooperative than Mr. Dames and view it as their job to help facilitate the process, even if they think it is happening too early.Michael O’Neill, the director of coaching at one of the top clubs in New Jersey, Players Development Academy, said that he and his staff helped set up phone calls so his players did not miss out on opportunities. They also tutor the players on handling the process.“You almost have to,” Mr. O’Neill said. “If you don’t, you can get left behind.”Once the colleges manage to connect with a player, they have to deal with the prohibition on making a formal scholarship offer before a player’s final year of high school. But there is now a well-evolved process that is informal but considered essentially binding by all sides. Most sports have popular websites where commitments are tallied, and coaches can keep up with who is on and off the market.Either side can make a different decision after an informal commitment, but this happens infrequently because players are expected to stop talking with coaches from other programs and can lose offers if they are spotted shopping around. For their part, coaches usually stop recruiting other players.“You play this goofy game of musical chairs,” said Alfred Yen, a law professor at Boston College who has written a scholarly article on the topic and also saw it up close when his son was being recruited to play soccer. “Only in this game, if you are sitting in a chair, someone can pull it out from under you.”Girls from the Players Development Academy, a New Jersey club, at the three-day event.CreditSarah Beth Glicksteen for The New York TimesMr. Yen said that colleges withdrew their offers to two boys his son played with, one of whom ended up in junior college and the other at a significantly less prestigious university. Other players who made early decisions went to colleges where they were unhappy, leading them to transfer.The process can be particularly tricky for universities with high academic standards.Ivy League colleges, which generally have the toughest standards for admission, generally avoid recruiting high school freshmen, but the programs do not stay out of the process altogether, according to coaches at the colleges, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the topic.Two Ivy League coaches said they were generally able to look at players with a grade-point average above 3.7 and a score above 2,000 on the College Boards — out of 2,400 — much lower than the standard for nonathlete applicants. Ivy League coaches can put their recruits on a list of preferred candidates given to admissions officers, who in turn help the process along by telling coaches in the summer after an athlete’s junior year whether the player is likely to be admitted — months before other applicants find out.Fearing a Toll on MindsAt the Florida tournament, many players said they had given up all other recreational sports in middle school to play soccer year round.A growing body of academic studies has suggested that this sort of specialization can take a toll on young bodies, leading to higher rates of injury.For many parents, though, the biggest worry is the psychological pressure falling on adolescents, who are often ill equipped to determine what they will want to study in college, and where.These issues were evident on the last morning of the Florida event, on the sidelines of a game involving the Dallas Sting. Scott Lewis, the father of a high school sophomore, said his daughter switched to play for the Sting before this season because her old team was not helping steer the recruiting process enough. He watched scholarship offers snapped up by girls on other teams, he said.“Is it a little bit sick? Yeah,” he said. “You are a little young to do this, but if you don’t, the other kids are going to.”A parent standing next to Mr. Lewis, Tami McKeon, said, “It’s caused this downward spiral for everybody.” The spiral is moving much faster, she said, than when her older daughter went through the recruiting process three years ago.Ms. McKeon’s younger daughter, Kyla, was one of four players on the Sting who committed to colleges last season as freshmen. Kyla spent almost 30 minutes a day writing emails to coaches and setting up phone calls. The coaches at two programs wanted to talk every week to track her progress. Throughout the year, Kyla said, she “would have these little breakdowns.”“You are making this big life decision when you are a freshman in high school,” she said. “You know what you want in a week, but it’s hard to predict what you’ll want in four years.”Kyla said that when she told Arkansas that she was accepting its offer, she was happy about her choice, but it was as if a burden had been lifted from her.“I love just being done with it,” she said.A version of this article appears in print on January 27, 2014, on Page A1 of the New York edition with the headline: Committing to Play for a College, Then Starting 9th Grade.

Here are 10 ways to increase the odds that you'll win a scholarship for college students.1.

Look for the organization's mission statement, which you'll often find in the "About Us" section of its website.2. Get involved with your community.Students who volunteer enjoy a huge advantage with scholarship sponsors, says Marianne Ragins, who was featured on the cover of Parade Magazine in 1991, one of the most popular issues in the magazine's history, after winning more than $400,000 in college scholarships. Ragins, who conducts presentations on winning scholarships, says scholarship sponsors are looking for a long-time commitment to volunteering. This bias towards volunteering makes sense since many scholarship providers are nonprofits committed to helping others.3. Look professional.Google your name to make sure that you have a professional online presence, advises Mark Kantrowitz, the publisher of FastWeb and the author of the new book Secrets to Winning a Scholarship. Remove any inappropriate material from Facebook. And don't use a risqué email account. Keep it boring.4. Use a scholarship search engine.Using scholarship search engines will make your job easier. Here are some to check out:FastwebKaarme.comScholarships.comCollege BoardCOLLEGEData5.

Apply to every eligible scholarship.It's a numbers game and even among the most accomplished students, luck is a factor. Don't ignore the small stuff. Some scholarships worth $1,000 or less may only have 15 or 20 students applying, Ragins says.8. Look for essay contests.Students can be lazy and many will skip scholarship contests that require an essay. Applying for these scholarships could increase your odds of success.9. Be passionate.When you're writing a scholarship essay let your personal voice come through. Include lots of details in your essay that helps reveal who you are. It's usually a good idea to focus on a problem and how you solved it or overcame adversity.10. Think local.Ask your high school guidance counselors about local scholarships. Also check bulletin boards at libraries and outside financial aid offices. Local scholarships are going to be easier to win than regional and national ones.More on CBS MoneyWatch: 10 Most Prestigious Scholarships in America,How Rare Are Full-Ride Scholarships?

Selection to the programme will be made on the basis of several criteria, including marks obtained in Class 12, Class 11 and Class 10, quality of essay submitted and performance in personal interview.Vikas Panwar (P.hD)- The candidate should have a first class (or CGPA equivalent) MBA/PGDM (IIM/Other AICTE approved institution)/ One-year full-time residential program in management. Candidates from premier business schools will be given preference or for Part-time PhD, the candidate should be currently employed in a job and have at least five years of full-time executive/ managerial/ teaching/ research experience. The final selection would be based on a written examination and an interview. The course structure is for two years of coursework for studying the prescribed courses as listed in curriculum design followed by a comprehensive examination after the successful completion of two years of coursework. The minimum period for completion of the course is 2 years and the maximum is of 6 years.Dileep Reddy (BE/B.Tech)- BMU is the best place to chase our dream with great infrastructure, qualified faculty and industry exposure which makes it a great place. BMU organised many guest lecturers for personality development. We don't have any entrance exam to get admission in BML Munjal University. The students at the time of applying for an admission need to attach their mark sheets of 10th and 12th standards. Along with it, they need to write an essay about them and the reason for choosing the university. After this step is selected for the interview round, the students will get a call from the university regarding the details of the interview.Utkarsh Singh (MBA)- The college has a slight different admission procedure, a bit lengthy but very effective. This kind of process makes sure that only the best get selected in the college and in this way, the best students get the best offers during the placements also. College accepts all the major entrances test scores as well as conducts its own entrance test followed by assessment test, group discussions and personal interviews. The final decision is made by the admission committee. Placement cell or committee gives special training and development programmes to all the students after taking an evaluation test. They have divided the students’ abilities into 3 categories and gives them training accordingly. The highest package during my batch was of Rs.725,000 per annum and the average package was of Rs.500,000 per annum.Karna Sai Manish Reddy (BE/B.Tech)- I came to know about this college with one of my friends. As he was taking admission in this college so I also managed a seat through donation. I just presented myself before the registrar to seek for admission and after getting the clearance I got admission in CSE department. Saying in a broad sense our college is best for everything. Right from academics to other fields we are supported everywhere, offering overall development of ours.I hope my answer will clear your doubt about the BML Munjal University.

We homeschool our daughter (15) so I’ve really had to deal with this very issue.The fact is that most high schools in the US, for various reasons, offer neither a solid academic course (the college-prep schools excepted) NOR a solid life-skills/vocational course. I think this has to do with the fact that we’re queasy about admitting that some kids can do academic work at levels FAR above other kids, AND we don’t want to appear classist by appearing to shunt kids into true “vocational” programs. What is offered often turns out to a a mish-mash of well-meaning courses that are too difficult for some students (a student struggling to read basic English is NOT going to be able to plumb the intricacies of Chaucer or Shakespeare; the basic English has to come first) and too easy for others. Little of it seems practical. Most students just memorize what they have to know and conveniently forget most of it after the final; after all, many of these courses will be repeated in college at a slightly more advanced level for those who continue their education. I’ve rarely met a high school student who truly internalized, or learned at a deep level, much of what was being so laboriously and expensively poured into his or her brain. The pace is often simply too fast, the material disjointed, and the student trying to cram in too much information, for real learning to occur. Then after 13+ years of schooling the student emerges with few of the real-world skills needed to be a functional adult, and honestly does not learn many of them even if he/she goes on to college.We need a complete change in education in our country from the get-go, but I doubt that will happen. In lieu of that, if we really wanted to turn out responsible ADULTS at 17 or 18 our high schools would look MUCH different.First of all, high school students would be expected to be proto-adults. High school did not used to be a game or a place for kids to act out; most kids who went to high school in the early 20th century had to PAY to go. High schools were few and far between, and sometimes a student had to walk for miles or even board with a family. Thus only the wealthy and the most determined students went to high school, and the high school course was CHALLENGING to say the least. Kids did it, though. They still do it today in some of the elite college-prep schools. High school kids’ brains are not mature yet, but most of them CAN think at a high level if expected and led to do some. They are young adults, and in 4 years they will be in adult society, able to vote, able to be seriously prosecuted, and able to enter into binding contracts. ( A scary thought at times.) Our society does them a disservice by encouraging them, for the sake of economics or political correctness, to remain foolish, vulgar, and reckless. If a young person 16 years or older can’t manage to keep the rules in school, then she or he needs to be sent into the military. In the case of addiction, students need to be in rehab to try to stop the problem as soon as possible; our society does not need more drug-addicted adults. In a few decades we may be having a problem finding enough young, able-bodied workers to pay taxes to support all of our government programs and also to run our society. We need every able-bodied person, and we need them informed, mature, and healthy.To help them along the rose-bordered path to adulthood, all high school students should have to take the following core courses:*Basic communication. They would learn to write and speak grammatical English to the HIGHEST level possible. Period. I don’t mean this as racist or classist, but as practical and kind. I used to interview people for jobs at a library, and many of them could not write anything like a grammatical sentence. Knowledge of English is ESSENTIAL in a society whose academic institutions, businesses, and legal systems primarily use English. I think it is safe to say that a person who cannot speak/read/write English would have extreme difficulty in ever becoming a professional in our society, and is honestly in danger of fraud. Legal documents, medical reports, and contracts are difficult for even the most intelligent among us to understand. Why not give young people the skills they need to NOT be duped or misunderstand?*Citizenship & Laws. Our legal system in the US is very confusing at times, and does at times tend to favor the educated and wealthy. The public is NOT always informed about changes to laws, and contracts, legal documents, and even jury summons are written in language that some people may not understand. In addition to theoretical knowledge about governmental structure, young people deserve to be taught some of these legal terms, what to do if summoned for jury duty, how to behave in court, where to get land/marriage/birth records, and how to contact their Congressman/woman. They need to know how they can and cannot protect themselves without being charged with assault, and the legal ramifications of marriage and/or cohabitation. They also need to know that they cannot start a small business (such as a home baking business or child-care) without knowing the laws regarding that business.*Personal finance including but not limited to budgeting, self-control in buying, having a checking account, how banks operate, understanding mortgages, renting vs. buying a home, dealing with student and other loans, using an amortization table, how credit cards operate, what is usury, how to look for “extra” charges added to your bill, identity theft, how credit rating affects your interest rates (and what is interest), understanding advertising techniques, how to be a smart shopper, retirement, and wise investing. A knowledge of very basic accounting (including Quickbooks and/or Excel) would also be helpful for those wanting to start a small business. Those thinking of going into business might also benefit from briefly understanding what taxes might be required of a small business owner in the local area (such as payroll tax, tax on building and furnishings, etc.)*Health/Nutrition/Cooking. In a society where morbid obesity is becoming increasingly common, we NEED “home ec” again. It would be a serious class including topics such as First Aid, insurance, the cost of health care to our society, the effects of drugs and alcohol, how different foods affect the body, how to buy nutritious food on a budget, how to cook efficiently, portion size, and how to safely store and use food. This class should also teach students how to treat common illnesses (like a cold) and how to recognize WHEN they need to go to the emergency room as opposed to waiting and going to a doctor’s office. The “lab” for this class would be a CPR class and a garden or greenhouse where the students raised some of the food they cooked and ate. (It is amazing how many Americans do not know that beef comes from cows and, according to one report, a frightening number of adults really think that chocolate milk comes from brown cows.)*Lifetime Sports & Interests. Sports and activities are good for youth, but most students are NOT going to go on to a professional career, and huge amounts of public money are spend on school sports teams. Students with real ability should be trained in focused camps and lessons away from the school. These could be funded by the professional sports associations as a way to recruit players. The focus in high school, on the other hand, should be on students finding one real, practical, affordable, and enjoyable physical activity that can be practiced into middle age (walking, golf, gardening, hiking, swimming, bowling) AND at least one artistic/creative hobby (woodworking, painting, sewing, stamp collecting).*Self-care, Home and Car Maintenance. Everyone who is able-bodied should be able to change a tire, be able to recognize bald tires, know how to test tire pressure and air up a tire, understand the need to change oil, know the laws of their state regarding inspection stickers/license plates, be able to wash clothes and clean house, know a little about lawn mowers, understand the mysteries of a toilet-tank, know how to safely remove a broken light-bulb, know how to turn off a breaker, how to sew on a button, how to hang a picture in sheet-rock, how to turn off the water to a sink or toilet, and be aware of tornado/hurricane/earthquake/fire safety procedures. All students should also know how to have a 3-day-supply of food and water for emergencies, be able to light a fire (without a cigarette lighter or matches), know what to do during a home invasion, know personal safety techniques, know ways to signal for help if lost or kidnapped and know basic gun safety (even if they never PLAN to have to shoot a gun.)*Child development and interpersonal skills. Most people will have a spouse or significant other, and many will care for a child at some time in their adult life. Yet our society really does not provide a lot of practical instruction in these areas. I think everyone needs to understand basic interpersonal skills, what to look for in a prospective spouse (and what to avoid like the plague), how NOT to be a victim of domestic abuse, the link between early pregnancy and poverty, the dangers of fetal alcohol syndrome, and about basic child development and care. (I think some schools ARE really trying to teach some of this “Marriage and Family” classes and with the use of dolls or even bags of rice or peas to simulate a baby.) Everyone needs to know how to hold an infant, how to change a diaper, and basic infant needs.*Personal Development/Relaxation/Coping Skills/ Religious Practices One of the most critical things, and one of the most neglected in some of our schools, is for students to really get in touch with who they are and what THEY enjoy. Youth tend to be pack-oriented as it is, and to shun and bully anyone who is “different.” This tendency needs to be squashed completely, and respect for others be demanded. Students need to realize that advertisers and political candidates want to influence them. Students need to learn to look at information LOGICALLY and DISPASSIONATELY and make informed decisions, not have emotional knee-jerk reactions. At the same time, students need to learn how to truly relax (and this will vary by person, but it should be true relaxation, not doing something that gets a person anxious or exhausted), and how to deal constructively with the problems and stresses of life. There definitely should be religious/philosophical clubs/groups that teach their individual coping/philosophical skills to students of that faith. Topics might include human self-worth, how to deal with anger, the different love-languages, and how to deal with death and loss.*Work and Business Etiquette. I live in a moderately poor rural area, and came from an extremely poor rural area. Many students have NO hope. They come from families with little or no education, often with parents in prison or on drugs. Some literally come from falling-down homes with no plumbing. Hopelessness and lack of education often leads to poor financial and life-decisions, drug abuse, and incarceration. These students need HOPE that they can achieve MORE and escape poverty. They need a window to the outside world, and often they aren’t getting it. One thing, other than this mindset of hopelessness, that holds them back is a lack of knowledge of (okay, middle class) values, experiences, and social conventions. Students need to know how to speak without using profanity, basic grooming, and even how to have a nice meal. (Do not laugh. I’ve known some students who literally had never eaten in a restaurant other than the most basic fast-food. ) For a young person who has never been in a hotel, a nice office, a restaurant, or even a high-end department store, these places can seem VERY intimidating. This puts poorer students at a disadvantage. Some do not know how to dress for a job interview higher than at a fast-food restaurant, and many do not have appropriate and modest clothing for an interview. Yet it is not difficult to assemble a respectable “business casual” wardrobe from well-stocked thrift stores and sales. Sadly, many young people are themselves limiting their job prospects without even realizing it, and that’s not fair to them. Currently one issue that some professionals, especially in the financial and business community, are having are TATTOOS and PIERCINGS. Students need to be taught that visible tattoos and piercings are NOT as accepted in some professions as they are by the general public, and that having these visible will decrease their chances of being able to work in certain professions if that is their goal in life.*In addition to these and possibly other “life” classes, students would take the usual math, literature, science, etc. However, I think we need to be more realistic and honest with ourselves. Not everyone develops abstract thinking skills at the same time, and we all have our strengths and weaknesses. It is far better for a student to learn basic math, algebra, or even pre-algebra and really learn it WELL than to try to push everyone to Algebra II or even trig. Math is VERY developmental, and not everyone can understand the higher maths (I stopped at calculus. I was done.) The same is true of chemistry and physics. Some students need more practical classes, because they are not going to have the math to do a full-fledged chemistry or physics class. To pretend that everyone with a general diploma has “learned” chemistry and physics is simply ridiculous. The same is true of reading and analyzing literature and writing reports with citations. Certainly all students who CAN do these SHOULD learn these skills, but all students will NOT be able to do these. Our society MUST move past its current preoccupation with the STEM fields and academia and start valuing the people who do the real work in our society. This leads to my final suggestion:*Real Vocational Classes. We need to put FAR more value on trades, vocations, and entrepreneurship than we currently do. Sorry, but a person who can fix air conditioners or who has his own lawn service is of much more practical value (and value to our society through taxes and possibly providing jobs to others) than someone who has a mediocre “general business” degree and can’t find a job. I really wonder about the practicality of some of our current vocational classes. A wonderful young friend of ours is currently taking “ag” in school, yet they do not seem to be really learning anything really practical (other then welding, which IS practical) about farming or ranching. Maybe they are learning about types of forage or livestock, but they are not herding and working cattle, or driving tractors, or building fence, or breeding horses, or raising microgreens to sell, or learning about automatic chicken-waterers. My friend’s adolescent sons, who help her run their little homestead, have MANY more practical skills, and they also have their own monetized Youtube channel and make money doing chores for others. (These kids are probably going to be multimillionaires one day. They’re real go-getters.) After an introductory safety class, “Vocational” courses need to be REAL apprenticeships at the bakery, the factory, the machine shop, or on the farm. This is the only way that a student can know if a particular vocation is for him/her. If a student took an introductory vocational course at around age 15–16, then he or she would still have time to make other choices if that choice did not work out. Again, these courses should teach real, demonstrable skills and at the end of the high school vocational course, the student’s experience should count for something in finding and doing an actual JOB (although John Taylor Gatto might argue that our society really doesn’t WANT students of that age to be able to enter the job-market.)So, these are my ideas. You can tell that I’ve thought about this a great deal. In fact I was just talking about this with an older man at our church. So many of our kids are coming out of high school without even the basic life-skills that they need to be successful, so many of them end up in deep debt, in failed marriages (which wreck your credit), unable to care for themselves, and without either vocational or academic skills needed to get and keep a job. Perhaps even more frightening, these young people are able to vote, an yet many of them do not have an inkling of the realities of adult life or how to evaluate claims and make logical choices.
