But still you may have to endure low wages and underemployment. Why? By Jonathan Marshall September/October 1993 Issue From filibustering Frist to taking a stand on Darfur: Our annual roundup of college campus activism. Advertisements Advertisements You are an average student attending high school in Middletown, U.S.A. You haven't a clue what to do with your life, but you don't want to keep working at the local record store earning minimum wage. So you turn to the school's guidance counselor for advice. Should you take biology next semester, you ask? Should you move on to French III? What about calculus? Just what will it take, anyway, to succeed later in life? The counselor gives you a weary glance. "All day I've been telling kids like you to study hard, take a full load of 'solid' subjects, and master skills like math and science that will be 'critical' in the twenty-first century. But I'm too tired to lie any longer." He points to a stack of journal articles. "Practically every one of those studies tells the same story. It doesn't matter how well you do on standardized tests, how good your grades are, or how many academic subjects you take if you don't plan to go to college. Your future standard of living will depend mostly on luck, family circumstances, and how many years you go to school. So if you enjoy biology or calculus, great, but otherwise don't sweat it."

Extractions: Involved in Secondary IEP's by Lisa Holland Although the laws governing special education and the development of Individualized Education Plans support collaborate/team approaches, often special educators are writing IEP's with little input from others. The collaborative approach to writing IEP's should involve gathering information from a variety of sources thus allowing all interested parties to have a voice in the development of the student's program, not just having people in attendance at meetings. Unfortunately at the secondary level, we often have regular education teachers and guidance counselors who are silent in IEP meetings because they aren't aware of information that they should be sharing. Within inclusive and integrated schools, students often have seven or more teachers each year. Teachers possess a wealth of information concerning a student's achievement that is not always contained in standardized test information. This knowledge is crucial in formulating an accurate present level of performance that reflects the student's progress in relationship to the general curriculum, in writing appropriate long and short-term goals for students, and in planning for transitional services. Input from each is important in the development of a comprehensive IEP.
