Other Ways to Win: Creating Alternatives for High School Graduates

<p>The focus of this book is the plight of many students in United States high schools who face an unpromising future on graduation. Written for students, teachers and parents, <b>Other Ways to Win</b> stresses that alternatives to college do exist for entering the labour market, many of which offer a higher probability of success.

The authors conclude with suggested strategies for high schools to adopt in order to improve students′ preparation to meet an uncertain future.</p>
