I think the most important thing in our society is having a well educated population. I think it shoul be a parents responsibility and choice to guide there child’s education however they see fit. I also think there should be more vocational schools and trade schools in public school systems. Not every kid can be a Doctor or Lawyer or Professional. Collage is not for everyone and I think vocational schools would help struggling lower class kids, or people who think collage is not what is best for them.

Very nice point about the importance of vocational/community schools - I am a VERY strong supporter of them. What do others think?

I think it's great that you think we should focus on manuel labor vocational skills, Bush.  However, we must realize the need for increased technical and scientific knowledge even for the lower classes to compete in this new global job market.

Actually, the Technical-Vocational Institute here in Albuquerque is a very good source for technical knowledge (and a good starting point for scientific knowledge), all at a cost way less than the university here (like, one-tenth the cost, or even cheaper). There's a lot more than manual labor skills being taught here (although, trades can actually pay quite well).
