Wait, you don't it in the US ? Kids who aren't comfortable in school start learning a trade at 14, so by the time they're 18 they have some skills.

I get that it's a pitty that non everyone reads philosopher or learn about history and science, but on the other hands, some kids are really uncomortable at school, so having them working one week, and going to school one week is an alternative which pulls some student out of the failure cycle

Education in general is quite shit in the US. Apprenticeships, contracts and unions are all things most Americans never experience.
