Of course we know schools can't offer much more because that would mean taking money away from other sources like luxuries for prisoners and putting it where it's needed.

There is already strong competition for the vocational courses. This leaves the armed forces or college. For the people who don't want to get shot at this leaves college and when college is forced into accepting pupils and keeping them there it becomes just like school.
The schools are not to blame for not having intresting courses. It is simply that some people would rather go and get stoned, ****ed etc. Hell, it's a lot more fun than any lesson. If that's what people want to do let them wreck their lives, we're gonna need binmen in 20 years time just as much as we do now.
