| #3 Agree EU, but the 'professional educators' set it up that way to track to college. The whole system should have double tracks to include tech/vocational training starting about the ninth grade for those not interested in college but needing real skills [besides running drugs or pimping out their girls] to make a living. Coop with businesses and industries and the 'old fashion' unions that actually ran apprenticeship programs. |

| #2 Just remembering my high school days the impression I got was, if you're not planning on going to college, high school isn't relevant. You should have already learned to read, write and do basic arithmetic by the time you finished the eighth grade. After that what is there? Trigonometry? Physics? That's fine if you're college prep but what about the kids who aren't? They don't wanna sit in school and have their adolescence prolonged by several useless years. They want jobs. |

| #1 She'll be knocked up and gone by her sophomore year. Two more mouths for the already overburdened Cal welfare system to feed. Thanks, Mexico. No wonder everyone who can escape Cal's idiotic government and ridiculous taxes is fleeing as quickly as they can. |
