There is an interesting story in the Wall Street Journal about a trade/vocational school in St George, Maine.
There were no trade schools in the district, so St George decided to create one but the school district wouldn’t allow it,( how crazy is that?).
So St George broke off and created their own district with a new trade school. Not just in high school but in all grades beginning in kindergarten.
The story cites several students who were bored and doing poorly in school. When they switched to the trade program their interest and grades improved.
I think there are many students who would benefit by switching to a trade school.
We need more trade/vocational schools and school districts like the one in St George.
