[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to massively scale up training for trade work - give them skills and out at 16 yo to work if they so choose.[/quote] +1. Growing up, my school had classes for trade work (carpentry, auto repair, etc) and allowed students to "co op" for part of the day. They got those kids training in something useful, they got to make some extra $$, and the kids got an incentive to show up. The idea that everyone needs college prep courses is a complete failure and actually counterproductive. [/quote]
