One of the major reasons so many kids act out in school is that they don't feel that there is anything there for them. With the college prep mentality that so many high schools have, the non-college bound feel like second-class citizens at best.

Maybe we need to take a clue from some European countries. Let everyone start out with a basic elementary education, and let everyone head for a trade education unless he can prove enough academic ability to be worthy of college prep coursework. I see far too many kids whose parents push them into college prep who stand little or no chance of ever making it in academia.
