One of the things that teachers really miss is a way of motivating students.

One damned good way is to actually teach the kid to do something he's interested in. An example of this could be when a kid has an interest in cars and mechanical things.

I suppose that when a kid does show an interest in mechanical things they aim him in the direction of the mechanic program and teach him to be a mechanic. Then the school system gloats about how they set the world up with another mechanic and taught the kid a trade.

Too bad they didn't take a little more time with him and open a few more doors and split his education between the shop and the math and science department.

Granted some of these guys are going to do well as mechanics but the field of mechanical engineering can always use another member of the community.
