I went to a public US high school with a nursing magnet program and an automotive program.

Both saw you with a phlebotomist license or a technician certification respectively.

These were wildly popular programs despite having academic requirements (for the nursing track)

I think high schoolers care about practicality, actually.

> also you need to keep budget in mind and the teacher shortage

crazy thought, though.

Maybe pay teachers more? Make it a more attractive career? Vote in superintendents with more education experience than corporate.

Idk… anything but throw your hands up and say “well nobody wants to teach so idk”
