Hehehe. Your anti-intellectualism is just hysterical. You think "trade
school" is the answer for everyone. Your sort of rigidity leads to a
dumbed-down nation full of worker drones incapable of abstract thinking
and supportive of, oh, Donald Trump.
We have a whole generation of people thinking abstractly while
sleeping on their parent's couch and watching TV all day because they
can't find a job. (94 million as we speak)
Maybe a little trade education is what we need.
I know you are infatuated with the Europeans, particularly the Germans
and Scandinavians. That is how they do it.
Worse thing we did, and the California college leaders admitted it a couple
years later was to drop industrial arts courses and make all paths College
Prep, and to learn a trade go to Community College or a state university.
One of the major reasons for high drop out rates from primary schools.
