What’s wrong with high school is that the place is mostly run by C-students and they’re not very bright. They often teach boring courses to the explicably unmotivated. The concept, in vogue in California, that you can teach algebra to everyone in the eighth grade, is laughable. Could we please revive vocational education so that our kids can have lousy $125k/yr jobs as plumbers and electricians instead of being forced into going to college in communications or race-baiting? Requiring majors is a red herring designed to focus attention away from other issues like the inablility of our high school brain trust to teach everyone to read and write.
