3) I'd incorporate some sort of trade school into the public schools. If a kid isn't gonna go to college then why not give him some schooling on being a plumber or mechanic or whatever trade they choose so they can enter the workforce? I think part of the issue is these kids don't see a point of learning algebra because wtf are they gonna do with it? Now learning how to install and fix an HVAC could be seen as useful.

BC kids are morons that dont understand you arent learning it to use the Algebra necessarily.

You have to learn to think but I doubt teachers teach that.

Yes. Even Catholic school kids are morons and wouldn't take school seriously if they didn't have parents that made them.

But I don't think offering trade schooling in HS is a bad idea if it gets kids to learn a productive way to make money after they graduate.

Nobody is saying do away with basic math and sciences like algebra and physical science. What people are saying is stop pushing kids into trigonometry, physics, and advanced English literature.

If a kid is not showing interest in the college route by 15, put them on the track to have skills such as the ones mentioned above. Give them the base education, but don’t push them to ACT prep
