尽管几十年来针对陷入困境的高中做出了善意的努力，但今天的结果几乎没有改善。少数几个创新项目在小规模上取得了巨大成功，但更广泛地说，处于人力资本分布最底层的学生的经济前景仍然黯淡。在我们看来，扩大获得侧重于生活技能和工作经验的教育选择的机会，而不是关注传统的学业成功定义，是这一群体最具成本效益、可广泛实施的改进来源。
In spite of decades of well-intentioned efforts targeted at struggling high schools, outcomes today are little improved. A handful of innovative programs have achieved great success on a small scale, but more generally, the economic futures of the students at the bottom of the human capital distribution remain dismal. In our view, expanding access to educational options that focus on life skills and work experience, as opposed to a focus on traditional definitions of academic success, represents the most cost-effective, broadly implementable source of improvements for this group.
