I am all for apprenticeships... something nearly non-existent in modern America. A staple of union trades and other 'Russian communist ideology.' Higher education should be free as long as students maintain adequate grade levels based on easy to score standardized testing. It should *require* apprenticeships or internships while employers are required to demonstrate that the apprenticeship educates the student rather than just making them a temporary grunt working slave. Education in this country is only less screwed up than election policy. The two most important parts of our society are both badly broken and in need of immediate fixes.
Democracy relies on an educated and informed electorate choosing between quality candidates. We have idiots who can barely point to their own country on a map, voting in a choice between two horrible puppets. That won't last long.
