July 13th. He applies his programming and technical skills to a digital
platform that provides market research to his colleagues. It is a good job:
he makes $50,000 a year, has a health-care package and a pension plan. Mr
Saddler is 18 years old. He earned his high-school diploma last month. A few
weeks before finishing school, he also received an associate degree in
computer systems technology.
Mr Saddler was a pupil at P-Tech (Pathways in Technology Early College High
School), an unusual school in the Crown Heights neighbourhood of Brooklyn
which blends a public high-school education with community college courses
and paid work experience. He, along with five other pupils, finished the six
-year programme two years early. Three of the graduates are going on to four
-year universities. The remaining other two will join Mr Saddler at IBM.
What sets P-Tech apart is how hard-headed it is. Most of the pupils in
Brooklyn’s P-Tech are the first in their families to go to college. And
most come from low-income and minority homes–96% of the students are black
and Latino. About 80% of the students qualify for free or cheap lunches. It
has an open admissions policy and operates within the existing school
district budget. | G*******n
