  2. Who will be affected by budget cuts? • No matter what programs or classes are cut, someone will be affected, which may influence their college success.

  3. Dean of UWEC: It will hurt the community. There will be less skilled jobs. Without rigorous classes may cause college freshmen to go through remediation, which could make them less likely to graduate within four years. Student Of UW-Stout/Employee of UWEC: If more elective classes are cut it will probably cause students to pick colleges with more electives therefore determining the area in which they go to school. How do you think the cuts will affect students transferring into college?

  4. Dean: First off, two years of a foreign language is a requirement. We live in a diverse world. It will make students more marketable when its time to get a job. Student/Employee: It really helps if you want to travel. And also dealing with people/professors of different backgrounds and just makes you a more well rounded student. Explain how world languages are beneficial to college.

  5. Dean: Students will be less prepared/interested in education. We will have a more disengaged youth, which will be bad for the community because the youth will use their time for negative activities. Student/Employee: Students won’t be as prepared for college and might fall behind. How does high school budget cutting effect UWEC?

  6. Dean: Students don’t know how to study. Their could be more classes to help students with their emotional/social skills and also their communication in the community. Student/Employee: College courses are a lot more difficult, so I think their should be more AP courses and also maybe make the general high school courses more rigorous. What are some big academic problems for freshmen in college that could be changed through programs during high school?

  7. Dean: Teaches kids great qualities but there are other ways to learn these qualities. But cutting sports completely might cause a bigger obesity problem. Student/Employee: Sports have their benefits like keeping kids in shape and teaching them awesome skills but I don’t feel that sports should have such a large budget. Do you feel sports are beneficial to high school students going into college?

  8. Dean: Yes, AP courses help eliminate remediation and helps kids get out of college faster. Student/Employee: Yes, AP classes help students get prepared for college and if they are cut students will have to get used to a drastic change in workload when starting at college. AP courses are one of the things being considered to be cut. Do you think this will affect students negatively?

  9. Conclusion • Cutting budgets at the high school will affect students success in college.
