I think some kids don't give a shit and are bad at things like this, and are made to feel bad about that with bad grades and sometimes no diploma. I think kids can start specializing by high school in what they like and their strengths  

 Oh I agree. This one size fits none bullshit that we constantly fund is garbage and I can’t fathom the opportunity cost on someone who could have thrived somewhere getting wrecked and labeled as a poor student (read: terrible peon).
