But we're not talking about kids who don't want to follow a particular educational path, we're talking about kids who don't want to learn ANYTHING. No college. No trade. No nothing. They have zero interest in any kind of education, period. So what do you do with those?
first, we get them away from the kids who are trying to learn something
and we make that alternative really a lousy one ... think basic training awful. but if they can complete the basic then they earn a chance to return to an academic setting
second, we take away any privileges. no way can they have a drivers license or receive pre-licensing training. no, they do not get to participate in any school/government (park & rec) organized sports. no, they cannot go to the government (park & rec) facilities. anything that would be potentially fun and is funded by government, well, they can't have any of it
third, if their family receives assistance because that kid is in the family, then their check gets reduced because their kid is not performing and they are not motivating him/her to do so. this way we motivate them to now have a reason to get their kid interested in school
fourth. if the family is receiving government assistance including cable connections, internet, anything more than water, power and sewer, that additional assistance will be ended for that kid's address. yep, when the siblings are not able to watch tv, go on the net, because junior is a screw up, they will then help us to make sure junior quits screwing up
fifth. in the legal/court system, the kid's record will show that he is a screw up. let the judge use that information as he may when it comes time for sentencing
sixth. if the kid has a child he is unable to support, as determined by any request for food stamps, housing assistance, etc., that child is immediately placed for adoption. we will not allow that child to become a welfare anchor baby, causing payments funded by the taxpayer to have to flow thru the non-performing kid, even after he reaches the age of emancipation
seventh. if that kid has a successive child he is unable to support, (s)he will be given the choice of incarceration until the child reaches the age of 18 or (s)he can become sterilized ... and of course, the child is placed for adoption
other than that, i've got nothing
