That would require high schools/middle schools to be completely rewired.
Since the late 80s, shop classes (the pipeline to trade schools and trade jobs) have become "out of sight, out of mind" dumping grounds for students schools have deemed unteachable, stupid, or borderline retarded and as such, lost causes and must be isolated away from the student body.
To be sent to shop is to basically be deemed "irrevocably unsalvagable" and only the worst of the worst academically or mentally re-tar-dead were allowed to attend shop classes. This came about in part to "cleanse" the student body of people who would bring the school's grade averages down and potentially affect funding, but also to foster the idea that you MUST go to college. This was aided with the fact that most schools no longer even offer on sight shop classes, meaning school districts simply paid to build off-campus shop buildings inside the district and created as a place where schools in the district literally bus their "problematic" students there so they never go to the actual school or interact with the student body. And in my case, where all of the special needs (IE officially classified as re-tar-dead) students were warehoused too, since we didn't have a place for re-tar-dead kids and they were forcibly mainstreamed in regular schools with it being justified as "them learning a trade sine they'll never get a "respectable" job".
(This in turn led to something hilariously ironic, as shop was wholesale replaced with home economics across the nation though home economics classes themselves are poorly organized, tended to be all over the places lesson-wise, and often skipped critical shit like how to balace a checkbook/budget and de-evolve into poorly constructed cooking and sewing classes where you have to bake something random for the class at home or sew some sort novelty item like a pillow which then goes on display for the school to see)
Growing up, I was always told by adults that the shop students were dead enders and that it was used as a scare tactic to keep students from scoring below a C in their classes. "Flunk enough classes and they'll ship you off to shop classes and your life will be over!" is something parents would say threatening to kids when I was growing up. Or it being used to explain why the various re-tar-dead kids at my school suddenly stopped showing up one day ("they finally got him into shop! poor thing, he'll never amount to anything but thankfully they'll teach him something so he can at least get a job at a garage or construction!")
