What Can Be Done To Improve Struggling High Schools?
尽管多年努力，陷入困境的高中成效甚微。本文认为，扩大注重生活技能和工作经验的教育选择，是改善这类学生经济前景最经济有效且可广泛实施的方法。
In spite of decades of well-intentioned efforts targeted at struggling high schools, outcomes today are little improved. A handful of innovative programs have achieved great success on a small scale, but more generally, the economic futures of the students at the bottom of the human capital distribution remain dismal. In our view, expanding access to educational options that focus on life skills and work experience, as opposed to a focus on traditional definitions of academic success, represents the most cost-effective, broadly implementable source of improvements for this group.
