Hi Everyone:

While we wait for Barb to dig herself out of the snow, I was wondering
if others might want to just jump into the discussion.  What do people
think about the low number of GED holders that do go on?  I was actually
wondering if the "low" percentage of those enrolling in postsecondary
education in Texas, 20 percent, might sound "high" in some places.  And,
what does the term postsecondary education really include?

Do you find that more of your students feel the pressure to go on,
especially if many of the jobs that pay more than minimum wage require
postsecondary education?  Is it still a pretty hard sell?  And, if
students say they are going on, what do you hear back from them about
their experience?  For those of you with transition components, what
have you found?
