less rigorous academic work, diploma / degree mills are fraudulent schools, selling fake high school diplomas or college degrees (Washington Student Achievement Council [WSAC], n.d.).
Not only did vocational education rapidly lose market share in the economy of high schools, but all too often, vocational programs became «dumping grounds» — places to send students deemed unfit

What really sets us apart is the range of tools and resources, including text - to - speech in 18 languages, multiple - color digital highlighters and sticky notes, graphic organizers, and talking spell checkers - all accessible within the same technology and all focused on helping learners develop the independent skills and confidence necessary to
tackle rigorous academic work.
Our kids actually love the program and look forward to it even though it is
rigorous academic work.
