Are you satisfied with the public K-12 educational system in Delaware?  Delaware has a robust home-school system and a number of private schools, so it would appear that not everyone is happy.

But what, exactly, are you dissatisfied with?  If you send your child to a religious-based private school, is it because of the religion aspect alone, or is there another factor equally important?

And if your student attends public school, is it because you are happy with the program, or because private school or homeschooling is not an option for you? 
I have never seen comments from anyone satisfied with the testing system instituted by the State a few years ago.  I have heard parents and teachers both come out against it.  How do you feel about it?

The DE State Board of Education has a draft strategic plan on their website. It calls for 70% college enrollment of high school graduates by 2014. It doesn't say anything about what they will train/study for. (And we all know college grads who have never worked in their field of study.) So what about the other 30% of high school grads? I personally believe that more should be done for those with technical vocations - otherwise, where will our mechanics, plumbers, HVAC, well drillers, etc., all come from?

I understand that DelTech has campuses in all three counties; but this question is more about elementary and secondary public education. So -

I do not believe that NOT going to college implies lack of intelligence. But I do believe that there are those whose talents and inclinations do not incline them to a college program. Studying for the SATs just doesn't seem to be what's needed for every student.

So what can our public education system do to prepare them for the next phase in their training for a career?

So let me know -  tell me what you like and don't like about the public school system in Delaware, and how you think it can be improved.
