You have to send your kids to a "vocational" school to learn those things in my
school district.
If you do that, you cannot take the college prep classes you need.
Ideally, I would send my kids to vocational school in the morning to learn a
trade, then regular high school in the afternoon for "book learnin". Alas, that
is not possible.
