Exactly. There is no reason that all high schools can’t be teaching the following: welding, furniture making and refinishing, landscaping, auto repair, heating and cooling repair, roofing, construction, masonry/brick laying, hospitality service, STNA training, well drilling, septic tank installs and repairs, rain barrel installations, plumbing, tile/floor installations, etc. Those children can then go out and start their own businesses. To many study halls occur. Get back to basics: Reading, writing/composition, math and science. There are plenty of businesses that can offer apprenticeships. The fundamentals such as politeness, interesting with the public, timeliness and dress and comportment need to be taught at home and in school. Go back to a uniform dress code in schools: no short skirts, no makeup, no tight clothes, no shorts. Nothing or formal is needed just blouses or shirts with collars, knee length dresses or skirts, no jeans-slacks or pants. Also all children need to be taught how to budget and balance a check book. State with a few dollars in a bank account.
At least if they taught masonry in high school the kids would quickly learn to stay away from it. It’s back breaking work and now all the crews are full of illegals.
You can’t start a business and compete when another company hires illegals and puts 10 in a house.
