I agree with you, and I think we'd have fewer disciplinary problems in our schools as well, if the more technical/mechanical minded students could get an education they thought was useful and practical.
when I was in school...we had about three kids who went to these vocational schools for a few hours a day, but sadly they were made fun of for being stupid (which of course was not true and actually they are probably doing very well today from their trade they learned).
They're probably making more money than a lot of people with business (or education!) degrees, truth be told.

You are right and you are right about that behavior thing. It is so funny to me that the educators feel that all kids MUST sit in a chair all day for eight hours and just listen to someone drone on about these facts. We don't do that in the real world! It is funny I hate sitting still for a one-hour meeting and we expect kids to sit there all day. I am in the Navy so I luckily can move around a lot.
