AND we need to return classes in practical skills back to the high schools. NOT EVERY KID SHOULD GO TO COLLEGE.
At my son's public middle school last year, he had to write an essay about whether or not every kid should go to college.
He was 11 at the time, and he did not ask my opinion.
He said that not every kid should go to college. One reason was because some kids weren't smart enough, and another reason was that some kids don't want to and won't work hard enough. He had a few other very good arguments why college is not for every kid.
My son is still in public school, and I'm keeping my eye on him. So far, he isn't buying their indoctrination. He's very smart, so I don't think he ever will.
