A college education was a distant and remote pipe-dream, certainly not something parents prepared their children for or treated as an expected life experience. No one JD knew had gone to a four-year college; and 20 percent of the town\u2019s high school freshman cohort wouldn\u2019t go on to graduate in four years. With hindsight, JD attributes this poor record of educational attainment to <strong>a culture of low expectations<\/strong>. Children saw poverty, high unemployment, and drug addiction all around them growing up, often in their own immediate families. With such poor models of adult behavior, they never came to expect much from themselves.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Deemphasizing Education<\/strong> in Appalachia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, JD sees how little his <strong>community and culture emphasized education<\/strong> in Appalachia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/middletown-ohio-history\/\">Middletown<\/a>, a college education was a distant and remote pipe-dream, certainly not something parents prepared their children for or treated as an expected life experience.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What JD <em>now <\/em>knows is that all across other regions of the country, parents <em>were <\/em>setting their children up to attend college and start white-collar careers. Tutors, SAT prep courses, guidance counselors, and all the other tools of the college-acceptance game were simply unknown to the children of his community. <strong>They weren\u2019t <\/strong><strong><em>losing <\/em><\/strong><strong>this competition\u2014they just weren\u2019t playing the game at all. <\/strong><em>No one<\/em> that JD knew at this time, for example, had gone to a four-year college.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, the statistics paint a damning picture: 20 percent of the town\u2019s high school freshman cohort won\u2019t graduate in four years. Of those that <em>do <\/em>graduate, most won\u2019t go on to college, and those that manage to make it to college almost certainly won\u2019t go out-of-state. These aren&#8217;t unusual statistics in education in Appalachia.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an adult, JD attributes this poor record of educational attainment to <strong>a culture of low expectations<\/strong>. Children see poverty, high unemployment, and drug addiction all around them growing up, often in their own immediate families. They have poor models of adult behavior, so they don\u2019t come to expect much from themselves. He certainly saw this in his own life: even when he got poor grades, <strong>there was never any sense that there would be negative consequences for failing to achieve academically<\/strong>.&nbsp;This was a common feeling about education in Appalachia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final three years JD lived with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/jd-vance-mamaw\/\">Mamaw<\/a> were transformative. He lost interest in drug experimentation, became a good student, aced his SATs, and discovered a love of learning and exploration.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was happy, living in a stable environment, and felt for the first time that he had options in life. The next test was what to do with these options.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turning Down College&#8230;For Now<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For most kids, including most of his friends, the next logical step would have been to go to college, but JD was unsure if this was the right move for him. For starters, so few people in his family had gone to college. <strong>It was an experience and a world that he felt little prepared for.<\/strong> His education in Appalachia hadn&#8217;t readied him for college.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his grades and test scores, he certainly had the option. But when the financial aid forms for Ohio State arrived in the mail, he was discouraged. He didn\u2019t think that the cost (and the debt he\u2019d incur) was worth it.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also feared the intellectually rigorous and unstructured environment of college. He didn\u2019t want to be completely on his own. <strong>He wanted to be somewhere that would help him capitalize on his potential,<\/strong> but still give him the guardrails and structure that would keep him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/on-the-right-path\/\">on the right path<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How is the system of education in Appalachia?
