Everyone believes that all kids should have an opportunity to go to college. Not true, the world needs burger flippers, construction workers and janitors. Underachieving students are better off at going to a vocational high school that prepares them for the world of work.

We need to drastically remake our high schools in this country into two tracks. First one is University with the second being vocational. To remain on the University track, students must be able to pass standardized exams.

It would be wonderful to see college as it should be, a place people go to be educated in the great minds and thoughts of history, rather than a prep school for rich people with the purpose of getting them into a posh job.

Or getting them a career in football.
