Especially since school doesn't always even RECOGNISE that there are different learning styles, let alone cater to these learning styles (in fact, catering to every learning style would be a complete nightmare and we'd have to have much more dedicated teachers than we currently do. Which would probably result most easily from paying them more. Which would probably come from either higher taxes or better spending tax money *shrugs* I don't know which would be the most feasible). I think that getting teachers who actually understand people learn differently is pretty much the luck of the draw and independant of how much money is spent on education (i.e. the difference between public and private schools is much overplayed).

Not to mention the fact that we look down upon people who do more physical jobs as being not as clever/worthy. Maybe if we looked on them as being more ...worthy then people like Jack wouldn't drop out of some kind of education and just fall through the gaps.
