What will a work day do to them?

Oh, well, maybe they can flunk out and end up as Boehner said 'You were born to be a ditch digger because your parents didn't work hard enough to pay your college tuition, so just get on with it.'

Still, I'm glad you had a good experience with it. There was something similar at my high school, which also taught vocational skills for those not planning to go to college. They had a beauty school to teach that profession, automotive and wood shop, also ROTC for those who wanted to go that route.

I'm sure Newt's solution is to privatize or charter school after shutting the public, take all comers, schools down. We have too many people looking for work and TPTB don't care about educating them to get better lives, they just want them to die out of sight.
