股份制学校

Many people think of schools as buildings,teachers and students. Proprietary schools,however,think first of the students.They are interested most in satisfying their customers,the students.Proprietary schools are privately owned vocational schools.To remain in business they must give students what they want to learn at a fair price.The students themselves normally pay for the cost of the training.Thus,the school must offer the traning that is practical and that will help students get a paying job.Generally the training lasts from 6 months to one year.In the US proprietary schools number about 10,000 and that number is growing to meet increasing needs.
很多人想到学校就是建筑物、老师和学生。然而，股份制学校首先想到的是学生。他们感兴趣的主要是让客户、学生满意。股份制学校是私人职业学校。为了保持业绩，他们必须以公平的价格给学生他们想学的课程。学生自己通常要付训练费。因此，学校必须提供实用的、能帮学校获得一份有薪水的工作的训练。通常来说，训练持续半年到一年。美国的股份制学校的数量大概为1万所，而且数量在不断增加以满足日益增长的需要。
