A teacher told me about a plan that I think would be more beneficial than just raw knowledge pushing. He spoke of half days in school learning and the other half would be spent doing work within the community. A compromise between apprenticeship and scholastics. His argument was that not everyone could make it as a scholastically trained employee. Some would require a different life path. Right now most of those people end up in the military, so I guess THAT might be why there isn't a drive to renovate our school system. Another reason it would be good to get students out to see what the real world is so they could see how the knowledge they are aquiring might be used in the real world.
