re: #216 Surabaya Stew

You missed point 5 : lack of a mandate to educate all children

Bingo ,, and it’s not always the kids fault, btw. When I was a kid, teens had the option of going to a regular high school OR a vocational ed school. Those kids still had to take English and Math, but instead of French, they took auto repair (engine or body or both). Instead of Art History, they took Heating and A/C. They could get a diploma there and walk into a good paying blue collar job WITH practical knowledge

Where have the Vocational Schools gone !?!?!
