Author Louis Rosen contends that an emphasis among educational policymakers to stress college for all students is neglecting the hopes and aspirations of millions of young people currently in school who either lack interest in academics or the inability to succeed in a more rigorous curriculum. In this book, he attempts to remedy this situation by suggesting strategies to prevent it.
