Maybe there’s some sensible common ground between Germany and the US system where everyone is required to get a general education even though a lot of people have no interest in it which also causes a lot of problems and makes it worse for everyone.

Anecdotal of course but from my own experience and from the few teachers I know now, there are so many issues with students assaulting teachers, assaulting each other, kids who can barely read, write or do math, etc.

I strongly preferred my liberal arts classes at my university but most people in them were just checking the box because they viewed the expensive ($20k+/yr in state) school as a job training program even though it isn’t that.
