We need to change it up and realize that not everyone needs to go to college. You pretty much know by middle school who is cut out for college or not. If not, starting in middle school they diverge down the trade path, with classes focused on financial literacy and life skills into specialized trades by high school.

There's already options for that but you usually can access them until the kid's Sophmore year.
Can we please stop repeating the "schools need to teach trades" cliche that's thrown around here so much? The career diploma has been an option for kids for more than a decade and there were career options before that.
It's time to start blaming the students/parents. It's not politically expedient but nothing is going to improve until that happens.

its the same dumb people who think financial math isnt taught in school, that basic computer skills are not taught, basic health is not taught......

its such a lazy take that they scream...need more trades...when its been implemented for decades that you could go that path.

kids choose not to go that route and but also not the college route either and they do it due to poor parenting.

the OP is right though, the class disruptors should not be in school after freshman year, sorry. choose a path or get out.

all goes back to parental involvement though.
