You call them "public schools". They are votech because the universities
have to bring students up to speed in order to take college classes.

Recall the discussion we had about six weeks ago on the low-level
English 101 handouts? 

"Tracking"--putting students of homogeneous ability together--is no
longer politically correct. It smacks of elitism. So all students are
often thrown together: boring the better ones and losing the worse ones.
College prep tracks are apparently out, leading to open admissions to
college and resulting in colleges having to deal with ill-prepared
students.

Yup. Sadly, me too. It's a cross we bear.
