An idea I had when I left school and was confronted with the reality that is the job market: We should put 11 year olds in factory conveyor belt work for a month. 12 year olds for 2 months, 13 year olds for 3 months, 14 year olds for 4 months. Quite boring to read isn't it?
Then we tell them, see? You don't have to study at all! There is plenty of work for you!
Ideally they should not be paid. It should be a service provided for free to the [ideally] already wealthy owner of the factory. Yes, you just spend 4 months making money for someone who already has a lot of money.
It sounds lame but it is a nice thing to do compared to confronting kids with their new factory life sentence after they failed school.
