Guys,And, THIS is a major problem to our educational "leaders". Our schools must become "training" facillities rather than bastions of education. The idea is to train children as we do dogs and ponies rather than educate them. What passes for education today is STONE COLD "EVIL"!!! Please bump this. Peace and love, George.

I am a bit confused what are you outraged about? These vocational jobs are the jobs of the future. In our service based economy we need plumbers and mechanics. Perhaps throw in some entrepreneurial skills .
