Our education system right here in America sucks. What do they really teach you in school? Nothing very vital. Who needs to know calculus and high school algebra if you're not going to college? High schools should be split so that kids who want to go to college can use the same system in place and those who don't want to go to college can pick up some kind of trade. The non-college bound should be skilled workers when they get out of high school. A high school diploma should mean something else besides a piece of paper that tells you that you graduated. You can say, "well, that's what BOCES are for", but usually they require extra training (outside of school) to really get specialized. Plus, you can only really take BOCES your 11th and 12th grade years. If you think that all I said was stupid, sign this anyway because school sucks anyway.
