While not making any new points I certainly believe this is more or less true. It would be nice to see high schools in the US with more hands on classes. Not just job training but things for everyday life. Shop classes, ag. classes, home ec. There is a lot of space for things like science hands on. Setting up weather stations, steam flow gauges, census for plant and wildlife. A good school newspaper (that could supplement community/local news).
While the federal government might have a roll to play in these sorts of programs most of the work would have to be at the local level.
