I always feel tempted to walk up to those kids and ask "What's it like to totally screw up your life, and not know you're doing it?"

Exactly, that's what I meant. Yes, it would be simpler to just let them go, but then that leaves a high risk of them becoming criminals, where they'll screw up more than their own lives. Too bad there's no way we can just get rid of them.

I believe that, even though they aren't succeeding, children should be kept in school. Perhaps something will sink in.

It seems worth it, even if all they learn is addition.

Besides if they dont finish their education they most likly will never get a job and thus have to live of our money, live on the streets or turn criminal. And i wouldn't like to finance people who arent willing to work for their education to secure a decent job. the other options arent nice either.
Exacly, most people without a proper education will just end up in the gutter, go criminal and all the nasty things that come from that..

Is it a certainty that they will become criminals though? What about children out in the countryside that recieve little to no education? (I'm speaking of children who are seriously out there, in the bush.)

Well, the kids that usually don't care about school, or their grades, usually have parents who don't care either, right? The kids are never really taught morals, or proper behavior, they just do what they feel like, when they feel like it.

All of that has a firm grounding, yes. But I was inquiring as to the status of country children.

These children are very moral and ethical, but the recieve little schooling. However, they do work more around the home and at jobs that other children.

I propose that a job, with chores at home, can provide a much better enviroment for morality than school.

Well, it's a combination of both that would truly be better then either alone, right? You need school to increase your knowledge, and home to teach you morals and values. A sort of overlooked fact on school is that it teaches you social skills, tolerance, and common sense, as well as conventional education.

I wonder what the cost is of keeping a failing student in school is compared to what it costs o keep them in prision.
