Is it uppity to acknowledge that most of the people who use those options (in general) have tracked themselves (i.e. tracking doesn't end in K-12 grades) into certain types of jobs and occupations? Is it uppity to acknowledge the social class (and its correlates) implications of that?
It would be fair to say that some people have uppity views regarding trade schools, etc. It would also be fair to say that we all can't go to the schools that people with uppity views find acceptable.

I suppose people who go those routes to employment have tracked themselves into X job/career, but if they are in a career that they enjoy and that they are satisfied with, then to heck with people with said uppity views. There's nothing shameful about having a useful skill and supporting yourself and your family with it.
