Abstract	Vocational academic programs in secondary classrooms and in university settings are interdependent in terms of teacher preparation and curriculum design. Significant changes in either entity will affect the viability of the other. Family and Consumer Science programs in US secondary schools are facing several challenges. A focus group design was used to gain insight on the vitality and viability of these programs from the perspectives of three stakeholder groups--students, parents, and school administrators. Emerging themes are presented and discussed. The impact of multiple realities and their possible negative consequences on this and similar vocational programs are explored. (Author).
