Since most state HS grad tests are at a 10th grade level, they should all get the same education until they pass that. THEN let them specialize, and for Pete’s sake throw voc-ed and technology there. Aimless and rough boys love hands-on, and a combination of hands-on and science can get bright but bored boys through school with enough technical skill to think about going to college later but get a job NOW.

And yes, We really, really need welders. College has become a joke in part because we think every ditz with a desire to dance, write or weave baskets is college material.
