Good plan. Yes, I believe vocational school should not be for screw ups. But the cost of running them and insuring them was considered too much for the school district I taught at. But they were far more concerned with keeping teachers salaries high.
Well, IMHO they certainly have their priorities straight! But, it IS possible to do both. Especially in a large district such as where I live. I think it's far more important to get the bad actors out of the schools. They lead and the sheep follow and that's usually straight to jail or the morgue. The kids who strive to learn should be given every chance they can, but the bottom feeding scum needs to be.....removed.
