Re: Really Poor College Acceptances

HA HA, Good Lord called out for being just another MM fraud.

Re: Really Poor College Acceptances

Isn't the real barometer whether or not MHS acceptances match up to other similar High School's? I'm guessing the answer is no.

Re: Really Poor College Acceptances

Yes, it is the real barometer, and the answer is emphatically no, they do not. Isn't that the whole point?

Re: Really Poor College Acceptances

Oh, heavens! I made a typo. Shoot me. As for the content of the post, contrary to your assertion, I never said I believed which college you attended made a significant difference in long term workplace success. In any case, that wasn't the original poster's point, which was acceptances, not long term workplace results.

No Clue posted "The most enjoyable part of reading this string is the morons knocking MHS and MHS students for not getting into elite colleges...and you know not a single one of them or their kids did anything more than a high school diploma and/or 2nd rate State U. I bet we have a few Voke graduates chiming in. Keep knocking down MHS kids, you will still be looking up at them and their scholastic achievements."

My response was to take issue with the assertion that posters here are somehow knocking students, which is clearly not the case. The problem is not the students, who are as bright and have as much potential as any students anywhere. The problem is that they are caught in a sub-standard underperforming system and have two strikes against them before they even begin the application process. You can focus on typos if you want, but continuing to ignore the real problem doesn't help anyone or anything. If you want to call out posters for "pointing fingers", why didn't you start with No Clue's baseless assertions and insults? Not surprisingly, you seem to have completely missed the point.

Re: Really Poor College Acceptances

Prove it. Show us stats on similar HS's acceptances.

My Plumber & Electrician went to the Voke...Both own their own businesses, provide jobs to their colleagues and make several hundred thousand a year not to mention the property my Plumber owns, but they ONLY WENT to the VOKE!! Two BC recent BC grads are unemployed and they have several hundred thousands in common with the Plumber & Electrician...EXCEPT it’s STUDENT LOAN DEBT!!
