I'm not suggesting this cause I think they would do a better job than adults... I'm suggesting it so they can learn what kinds of jobs they might actually be interested in and learn marketable skills in the meantime.

I can get down on that in a controlled, non-exploitative setting

Would have saved me 4 years and $50,000 on my Psychology degree anyway

meanwhile right outside the school is crack town. drug dealers making actual money. you know how many people drop out or even start selling drugs while they're still in school?

if you have no marketable skills it's a simple choice between getting **** on working at mcdonalds or walmart or making actual money doing crime. not that i know exactly what the answer is but creating a way to gain marketable skills beyond what they teach you in a classroom couldn't hurt imo.


so do as i say, not as i do?
At least where I went to school there was absolutely no connection between public schools and trade schools. For years I've thought that was a completely pointless waste of an opportunity.

picking any other favourite song off that album than 'I'm so bored with the USA' should be illegal

That bit after the first chorus where Joe bursts out with "I hate the army and I hate the RAF!" is just one reason why that song kicks me in the balls every single time. Best fun little anti-capitalist ditty ever.

yeah it is, I'll admit that basically any song on that album is a valid favourite
