This is a serious issue. Believe it or not, I think it is possible to make a reasoned decision to let a child drop English after a certain point (though a GED would be lechatchila in this bedieved), provided the kid knows that if his future is predicated on a rich shver, he has to evaluate things. There are parnasah options for kids who want to remain in the daled amos of the beis medrash, whether safrus, milah, shechita, hashgacha and more. Parents have to really know their children and have partners they can work with within the yeshivos.
