Do you really think high school should be teaching students how to hang drywall and install a toilet?

They are very useful skills, but I think it's too much to ask of an education system that also has to make sure students can read and have skills for their day jobs!

Why not? I don't think it's too much to ask that the education system makes sure students have at least some (one or two) marketable skills that they can trade for income. I'm not asking for trade school level knowledge, but for example - how many students know why sinks have drain pipes with the little roller coaster bend in them? Or maybe they could learn enough about electricty to fix a lamp or install a switch?
