Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

Kids are not mature enough to know what is good for them, therefore allowing them to drop out of school before the age of 17 or whatever would be stupid.

But i would like more people to get kicked out of non-compulsary education. There are some real retards on my course, who do no work, but for some reason still stay.

Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

well in my district all the kids who ussually would drop out go to a secondary and much easier school. I am guessing dropouts in washington state are going to increase dramitically thought. Starting next year so anyone who is a freshman now. You will have to pass a test called the WASL to graduate highschool. I will be taking this test for two week starting tomorrow. But being a sophomore I do not have to pass. I hear only about 60% of people pass it but you get 4 chances. You also have to take it in 4th 7th and 8th grade. But you dont have to pass those.

Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

Yes, we have the High School Exit Exams here in California, you have to pass them as a Sophomore, or else you can't graduate. Right now, as a freshman, we're starting S.T.A.R.S testing (similiar to Massachusettes MCAS). All my threads are so popular lately, lol.

Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

They should make it a law to have to pass highschool. If you can't pass the first time you have the rest of your life to try.
Question: Do drop-outs (and facilities where drop-outs live/eat) take out of our tax dollars?

Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

Since kids are legally required to stay in school until 18 years of age, I think we should be more focused on improving the public education system as it is.

Re: High School Drop Out Kids
 

I don't know, probably. The issue is comparing how much it costs to keep a kid in school who isn't worth it, and paying for him while he's in prison after becoming a criminal.

:nodding:

If a kid is too stupid to realize he needs to stay in school he deserves whatever life gives him.
