Why even bother sending them to school. Apprentice them to machine shops, and like businesses, before they are set in their evil ways. Do it old style, where the young people are housed, fed, clothed, etc., by the Master Craftsman, and they work very hard, and a stipend. Give the businesses the money the schools are spending. Send a very big, very mean teacher round a few hours a week to ensure the students and read, write, and perform basic arithmetic and have some knowledge of our history and constitution; making it clear if they want their stipend they will behave in the classroom and learn something.
I mostly agree, but the remedial education needs to come before they’re all sent to shop class. There are a few pearls that can be plucked from the swine if given a chance. The obviously smarter than she appeared girl in the story would not show her intelligence in front of her peers.

Frankly, this isn’t apprentice material
this is Training School material.
Boarding school with uniforms and tough requirements which will teach them skills to hold down a menial job. Some will advance to apprenticeships, most will be custodians.
