I will say that at a certain point our education system should become job training. We need to assess student interest and begin preparing kids for the university or the job market/trade school at a certain point. Our one size fits all mentality when it comes to education is creating a welfare state little by little as more and more individuals flunk out and rely on government assistance to support themselves.


Instead, these people could be trained and allowed to support themselves. We keep spending more and more on education, but it isn't fixing anything. The poor community continues to be poor because the education system in its current state sets them up to fail.
