 * 1) CTE makes it possible to train for a career with out going to college.
 * 2) some parents think that making a student that is already on the path to go to college shouldn't have to take a CTE class because it might slow them dow
 * 3) low income parents think that their child is on a path that wont lead the child to college because the child is in CTE class
 * 4) 90% of students who took CTE classes graduated
 * 5) overall only 75% of students actually graduate from high school
 * 6) CTE classes don't only benefit the students who are going strait into the work force, but also those who are headed to a four year university
 * 7) career technical education used to be called vocational education, its name was changed because vocational education had a bad reputation
 * 8) "Information technology, marketing and business management all fall under technical education’s new wide umbrella, as do professions like engineering and architecture. Even the old standards, like auto shop, require a level of academics not needed in the past to keep up with increasingly computerized car engines, Green said."
