[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I believe that beginning in middle school, there needs to be a track of students who aren’t succeeding with traditional school who can opt by choice to go to a trade school in HS that will put them on a track to have gainful employment. HS would be some core subject areas paired with a heavier focus on practical classes (basic finance skills, and apprenticeships (how to open and run a business in the trades) that will lead to an alternate path. Bring back the trade schools! [/quote] Agreed. The kids will also be happier. You can make good money as a plumber and you can start apprenticing at 17 or 18 and be set, rather than failing school but being passed on from 8th-12 grade. [/quote]
