The Daily Signal - 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.

The 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.

Joining 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."

On today's show, we also cover these stories:

  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tells lawmakers she expects inflation to remain high.
  • The Department of Homeland Security warns Americans that there is a heightened threat environment for political violence
  • Three major TV networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—plan to air a congressional hearing hosted by the Jan. 6 committee in primetime.

We have something a little different today. Often when we travel to new places, we look for books about the areas we'll be exploring. Whether via travel books, poetry, or fiction, reading about new places can help us understand them in all of their complexities.
