I was in a program in high school where I went to class for half a day and worked the other half. Even though I went to college, the program was geared towards kids who weren't going to college. The classes were the best HS classes I ever took. They taught me how to do my taxes, do basic accounting, how to save money, etc... . Far more useful than reading Shakespeare.
I was in a program like that too in my senior year of hs. I think mine was called co-op.
This should be how every high-school across this country runs!
I got an AS in Dental Hygiene. I made awesome money straight out of college. Trade schools are the best. AI won't replace trade. I love this school! Kids should be able to work right out of school. It keeps them out of debt and keeps things moving..
It's all low wage service sector crap. lol
Restaurants, beauty salon, and automotive shop?
And they're private companies - so they're getting something out of it.
If they're selling their services out of the 'high school' - it's nothing more than a free labor racket.
You've got to read between the lines.
@@LavishPatchKid how dare you look down at trade jobs! These kids are the backbone of America!!! This is what made America what it is today and give them a better view on life!
@@SexyyetSweet94 Trade jobs are carpentry, electrician, plumber, etc.
You're out of your element.

@@LavishPatchKidMy wife is making over $50 per hour plus profit sharing as a dental hygienist. I wouldn’t exactly call that “low wage”
Man! I wish I had a school like that back in the ‘80’s! How differently would my (now 54 years old) life have turned out?!?
Skill building is the path for entrepreneurs!
Experiential learning modeling, Campus Compact (college and University environment), Junior Achievement (junior High and High School Environments), each of these models had varying time of activity…….. each found great successes among participants and mentoring organizations in community…… I’m excited to see what this model shapes up to look like, who it attracts both individually and organizationally. Experiential leaning and mentorship has so many beneficial effects both in the educational environment, among students and faculty, through interactions in community and with participating organizations…… excellent environment for incubating small businesses and skills development for updated culture and operations leadership too!
This concept of having business skills taught in high school is not new. I graduated from high school in 1990s and I graduated on the business curriculum. Meaning, I had business classes my last three years of high school and in my 12th grade year, we went to classes in the morning and interned at companies in the afternoon. Other students had the college curriculum, cosmetology and even shop classes but we all went to college if that is what we wanted to do.
I applaud this school but it is not new. They are just going back to how school once were.
Yes, I remember this. It was called VoTech when I was in high school. I don't understand why we removed it. Foolish.
“Skills to pay the bills”. That’s the way to learn. Ya wanna eat? Learn a skill.
I wish there was a program like this at my high school back in 2000 to 2004. I like to think that being the type of student I was, I would have benefitted from such a program far more. Especially in the entrepreneurial program.
Great idea to give kids a trade.... In addition to doing theory study..... It gives them a safety net... And/or a proper part-time job during further schooling....
Didn't we used to call this VoTech?
Yes, I graduated from MN in 2018; they called it vocational-technical, if you wanted to do it at my HS you had to bus to a community college or different high school in the same school district.
Love this!
welp there u have it. apprenticeship is coming BACK! in a major way. yay for the human race. find what interest a child. make him a master/expert in that. cant be any worse than current edu system
Such a smart idea
Everyone should be taught to run a business, then they will realize what responsibility really means.
As a Latino.. that's Awsome I wish in my days I was in a school like this. To be able to work and go to college so i can understand what I want to do in real life. Also away to cash flow collage so you don't go into debt.
God bless Texas
I have my associates in nursing but also have my business. I own 2 laundrymats and metal scrap metal company.
As a 19yr adult, I paid my way into a place called GCIT, Gloucester County Institute of Technology. It was primarily a vocational school for HS kids, they'd go to regular HS for so many hours, then bus to GCIT for the elected vocation of their choosing, electrical construction, HVAC, culinary, baking and pastry arts, machining, automotive, quite a few things, but I had dropped out of 9th grade and got my GED and had been working, but decided to go and become an electrician, so I paid my way in (nothing crazy, literally like 4k if I can recall, I'm 42 it's been awhile lol).... and they had all those things there, and people could come in and get drastically reduced work or services done by the students, pretty much anything. So this seems like nothing new, looks slightly fancier and for some reason has outside shops coming in instead of what we had, our own culinary and baking students selling goods and food, but extremely similar.
Even though this video is performing very poorly I actually had the opportunity years ago in 2011 to graduate basically the way that this Texan community is doing with creating experiences. I went to a public charter highschool and got the school to pay for my personal trainer license as part of college credits towards sports medicine as at the time I wanted to be a sports medicine doctor. I quickly grew out of the desire to become a doctor after realizing that I was truly only in it for the money and that what I really wanted was just the information to better my own fitness journey and the money to have a cool lifestyle. If it weren't about the money I'd probably would have gone down that path but in many cases I'm glad I didn't because I truly wouldn't have gotten to where I am now with what I know in entrepreneurship using legal information to help people get things that they want without paying for it when they are not supposed to be.
Come to FLORIDA!
This is perfect, I love it. The regular school is not working. College and university is overrated and over charging for everything. People are in college are in decline and it should.
I love that
Sounds like what homeschooling has been doing for years to me!!
What about spending less than 100k for your school if you want to go. We can it keep it at 50k max 60k a for the whole 4 years and if it requires more schooling like doctors and so in then it would obviously be more.
I’d add that the cultural and social exposure in said college and university environments is less than useful when entering the workforce and greater social environments…… attitude and serviceability are naturally a part of the workforce entry environments……. Then there is actual leadership and change management skills…….what! Back to college….Nuh uh!
Why do schools look like prisons? Why not being inspiring looking ?
Some schools look like amusement parks!
They look like that because of cost and regulations
i would say this is a form of JA= junior achievement & not just on steroids but on anabolic steroids
Lol I thought this was a high school at first. Cool college concept tho
i like how he cuts of vinny when hes saying nonsense
This is not new. Tired of people rebranding what was being done and intentionally removed. Vocational schools were a thing and intentionally removed. Also there are homeschoolers and homeschool communities who operate like this.
This is what american kids need. Lets make America great again
How many of these can we build if we stop sending money to Ukraine and having tax dollars laundered? This is amazing. Crime will also be lowered if the kids have the skills to make money.
What is the incentive for these private companies taking spaces?
Are they selling their services to the public out of the high school - so these kids are in fact free labor?
To me, it sounds like the people who own private prisons (to make money off cheap labor) are moving into the high school sector.
The kids are not only getting paid but trained on how a business they are interested in operates and they are learning the trade ON TOP of theory classes
The businesses are invested in these students. Preparing them to join. Their companies and getting a discount for leasing space for teaching
@@naveendangi6922 You've clearly never worked a service sector job. lol
They're just learning how to be wage slaves for these companies.
If learning the protocols of a service sector job led to 'people being able to run their own business one day' - then there wouldn't be people stuck in the service sector for the entirety of their lives.
'How to be an owner' is completely different from 'how to be a manager' is completely different from 'how to be a private contractor' is completely different from 'how to work for a salary' is completely different from 'how to work for an hourly wage'.
And I highly doubt they're getting paid anything. I would want to see proof.
@@LavishPatchKidif someone is stuck in a service job their entire life, the only person to blame is the person staring back at them in the mirror. I cannot tell you how many “service job” millionaires I personally know because they do not just sit back and blame circumstances on failure.
@@3louminati Irrelevant.
Their claim is they're teaching kids 'how to be successful'.
People who worked in service succeeded despite the fact - not because of the fact. lol
College felt like a pyramid scheme 15 years ago
join the national guard while you're in college.
Boys should be encouraged to become entrepreneurs.
Let's all study STEM and business and completely neglect the humanities.

I was born in this country and have lived 46 years.
NO ONE in America makes a move unless someone is getting fleeced.
So is it the taxpayers getting fleeced?
Is it the kids?
Is it the parents of the kids?
Is it the customers?
Who is getting fleeced? lol

Thats a lot of money to learn how to cut hair thats a waste of resource. For a min wage . Go to college to work at cost cutters.
What are you even saying? 😂😂😂😂

Ah…listening is a skill😴
