Kids and school

I think with boys it is different. They do not just want to sit in the classroom. Is there an industrial arts in your school? They need someplace where they can work with their hands. For instance, if there is a work program at the school where they can go for a couple of hours learning a trade or working in a business or a store. What this means is that people who own a business, usually it is big one like Sears, or a welding shop wants to get the students interested in a trade, so they will go to the schools and give the students work experience that goes on their credit. Then when the student leaves Grade 12 or earlier, he is on his way to learning a trade. That might keep them motivated.
