I actually miss the vocational classes the public schools use to carry. They have been removed from the schools to create separate technical schools. Those classes use to work as apprenticeship positions.

I agree.

IMO, if the technical schools are post high school, the skills won't be as easy to build upon vs. the skills being taught in high school (or even moved down to start at a Jr. High level).
