　　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.
