So they talked to high school drop outs about what might help them stay in school. And they actually got a pretty useful answer.
I guess we have dropped "vocational" classes over the past years (decades) since I was in school. But "vocational" I think they mean things like auto shop and crap. Anyway the Irvine Group is doing a pilot in San Francisco to put vocational classes back in high schools.
Kids will be able to take classes dealing with Business Administration, Medical Assistance, Tourism, Legal support and other things (kind of like Bryman for Dummies).
I actually think it isn't a bad idea.
