Schools should have a basic program for kids who may not want or be able to go to college or who’s IQ may be low. Their curriculum should only be basic skills to function in society. Forget all that other crap they teach in high school. Give them only classes in learning how to read competently, do basic math necessary for a sales job, and teach them a craftsman-like skill they can use to find a job.
I find the idea that everyone should go to college totally absurd. Not everyone is qualified for it, and what is wrong with craftsman -like skills? Absolutely nothing. I also believe that smart students whose parents can not afford to pay for for their kids college education should get help
