The parents have zero say. There is no local control of the schools anymore. It's driven from big brother and they have a special interest agenda to push on everyone.
Moreover - and I see this all the time is - employers now see a 4yr college diploma as what a high school degree was 30 years ago. It's all about checking a box. Nobody gets a square interview anymore. You don't have the degree, you can't check the box, no interview - door is shut.
After working for a number of years, I was presented this at my work place. Without a 4yr degree, my promotion path was ended. My boss said, don't feel bad, he couldn't advance further without a Master's degree. We both went back to college and got our respective degrees. My view was - if the piece of paper is what opens the door, then I'd better get it and so I did. And paid for it as I went, graduated debt free. No student loans. I was on the school part of the day, work the rest of the day to pay for it scholarship.
I see, have seen a lot of folks who most all are much smarter than me. They work their arse off to pay for a nice new 4x4 truck. They work much harder, put in more hours to pay for it than the effort it takes to go to school at night. But that's their priority and I respect it. OTOH - when these same people come crying to me life ain't fair because I don't have a college degree, I don't have much sympathy. I busted my buttox to open doors for me and did without for years to do it. You only have to get a degree once. Trucks wear out and you have to keep working hard to replace them.
I will say his: I would and don't ever treat an employee without a college degree like I got treated my some of those folks. I have much respect for anyone that works and those who can't through no fault of their own.
But.....
If you are a young person, my advice is to find a way to go to college or get a good trade. Time and money well spent.
Remember, 99.5% of ALL PhDs can't thread a square baler. That's a documented FACT....... somewhere..... ;-)

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
