  18° - technically speaking, too cold to be hiking around a campus! Kidding aside, orientation for DEA - Dual Enrollment Academy - a program that gives high school seniors the opportunity to start a technical program, provided an overview of several technical fields of study and hands on experience. Current students spoke highlighting their programs' attributes in Construction, Tool and Die, Welding, and IT, to name a few. High school students earn high school and college credits during morning classes. Following completion of the program, they can apply the credits to an associates degree. WCTC has agreements with the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Whitewater, Stout, and other four-year degree institutions to accept credits towards a bachelor's degree.

  Not even learning about construction I came here hoping to learn how to become a construction manager, although so far it feels like the only things I've actually learned anything about are things that mean absolutely zero to me or my career. Out of the 20 classes I've been in so far, my busiest classes have been (by far) Communications, Ethics, Sociology, and Speech. To illustrate, I have finished 56 assignments so far this year in 7 different classes, yet over 64% of my work this year comes from either Ethics or Speech, or more than 4.5X times more than "MEP Systems", "Architectural Building Codes", and "Electronic Drafting" which combine for 14% of my work. I speak in statistics because I honestly cannot even fully process how upset I am with my experience here so far. Not only are the classes completely irrelevant, and not only do they take away massive amounts of time that I could spend learning about construction, but they are extremely politically skewed. Holding republican beliefs seems to not even be an acceptable options for these classes. Just a few examples: - I had to write an essay "explaining" BLM's beliefs. I asked, "What if we disagree on some of their points?" and was told that the assignment was to explain not to critique. - Playing a "game" in which we are shown snippets of articles and need to determine if they are fake or not. I received a 96% on my first try without reading any of the articles because, predictably, almost every single conservative source was obviously fake whereas if I saw CNN, MSNBC, or the like, I knew it was "true" without looking at it. Not only is this incredibly political but massively irresponsible, as in real life, these sources have been proven to be false on many occasions. - Not even kidding - a question on one of my exams was "How many genders are there?" and I marked 2, because that is my belief, and was marked wrong. Like come on man, are you serious? I don't judge people for what they believe or how they act but I truly believe there are 2 genders and it is just absurd that I could be lose credit for thinking this way even if some others might think differently. I even talked to that teacher afterwards about it just to get the "We talked about that in class" answer as if that excuses the fact that it is a matter of religious belief for me. There are more as well, but I think if you've read this far you get point. For anyone considering going to an expensive school to get a degree in communications or personality or whatever, just come here and tell them you're looking to learn about construction. Don't worry, you don't even have to learn anything construction-related.

  The teachers are great but the child care development center has questionable leadership and policy decision making. Despite decades of studies from the CDC, FDA, WHO, and countless other scientists and researchers regarding the efficacy of cloth masks and airborne viral aerosol transmission, they still insist on having a policy for 4 and 5 year olds to wear masks all day indoors. For an academic institution to blatantly disregard the preponderance of scientific evidence on the topic is highly disappointing. This is nothing short of child abuse. Would not recommend.
