I am beginning to come around to the European school system of culling and retracking. The Minneapolis School Board should at least consider establishing a vocational school that would track students into Dunwoody-type technical-vocational institutions. In American society, under our current educational system, everyone has a chance for the whole pie with fewer people likely to obtain it. Under culling and retracking, everyone has a chance for half the pie with more people likely to obtain it. The question is: in these days of rampant consumerism and disposable goods, will enough people be satisfied with half the pie? Bill Dooley Kenny REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
