Teach kids practical skills like carpentry, plumbing, and masonry. That way they can build their own houses when society collapses instead of majoring in gender studies and being useless at hunting radroachs.

Nah. Just let them sleep on the floor.... right?

And have them claim the floor is oppressing them or something? No. I like my floor.

You guys rock:)

Actually I'm a strong supporter of spending the last 2 years primarily teaching students a practical skill they can use to get a job, basically the same as vocational schools. I happen to love teaching math, but honestly I don't think every student needs to learn more than pre-algebra tbh, and if students wanna focus on shop skills/mechanic skills etc instead, they should be allowed.

The last year in fact should include vocational/volunteer positions so they get on the job training etc. You can't even hint at that at most schools as it's all about getting the students to prepare for college (or at least it was, it's been a few years so maybe that is finally slowing down now).
