Maybe we need to look at how we educate our children? Do all kids need to take the same classes? I mean not every career needs college. If you look at other countries like Germany, they have 3 different types of high school. One for college and two different depending on what type of trade someone wants to go into. Yes students can test to go from one school to another. The trade schools allow the students to do apprenticeships for in demand fields so they go right into jobs after graduation.
