I might also add that our votech ran on a system where the kids went to their home school and votech on rotating weeks (I think it might be semesters now) - they didn't go solely to the votech, they were still part of the student body with the college prep and business students and everyone else. I know it's not like that everywhere.
At any rate - I don't know what it's like where this girl is going to school, but our school had choices for curricula other than college prep or votech. My point being that just because she isn't in votech, doesn't mean she's not going to come straight out of school and get a job.
