I'd also add they have almost completely eliminated shop/trade classes
My district in NY had a very specific curriculum for kids not on a college path. They spent 1/2 the day in traditional classes then get bused to a trade school learning welding, crane operating, truck driving, and plumbing amongst other things. We really have focused too much on high school being a pipeline for college.

I think one semester of basic shop class should be required learning for every school kid. Even college bound kids.

Disagree strongly on the absence of trades at the HS level. It’s made a VERY big comeback over the last decade. I would know; it’s my business.
I’ve made a very nice living providing equipment and curriculum to school districts for the skilled trades over the last decade. And it’s showing zero signs of slowing down.

We have several magnet programs across the district that have been established for a decade or more that teaches trades.
The problem here hasn’t been the program itself. It’s been parents acknowledging their little special snowflake can be a functional human being in society working a trade and not going to college.
Parents push that college pipeline as hard as anyone.
