Has your school district done anything to implement these applied maths classes toward the requirements for a high school diploma, or created a "career path" inside of the high school?

Have you talked with any local community colleges and/or trade schools to see if the seniors could use their equipment and take college level classes as dual credit? The community college in my area saw how much the public school system was struggling, especially in this aspect, and provides the facility, machines, materials, instructor and curriculum to high school juniors and seniors in the area. In addition those classes provide the student with high school credit, and class credit hours towards the career path in that community college.

It is interesting that you bring this phrase up. To my high school this meant cancelling classes the final week of school and all of the kids get to roam the town free (with the intent of doing odd jobs). Many kids skipped because, you know, classes are done and finals are graded. What are they gonna do? Fail you? I am pleased to see a better rendition of the phrase implemented in a better manner than what it was in my high school.
