Where I went to school has some awesome alternative education stuff. They've started engineering programs and bio sciences, but when I went there that stuff was mostly limited. They did (and still do have) lots of work ready programs. You could get two different welding certificates. I knew guys who got out of high school and started making a decent living. You could also get a CNA certificate (or license or whatever) and some other medical stuff. My wife knocked out some of her nursing classes before she ever left high school.
Not every kid is going to be a doctor. But not every kid has to be a janitor just because he went to a crappy school.
JVS was always there but got buried in districts in favour of college prep because supposedly these blue collar jobs were going away.
