How the hell does one person accomplish more in high school than another? Either you graduate or you don't, it's as simple as black and white. If your going to push your way into an argument by making claims of all the great things you did you better have something to back it up, it doesn't matter if it's in the real world or on the internet. Usually the people that brag the most about there accomplishments have done very little or nothing at all.
I just think it's funny that almost everything that Backpedal-08 posts turns into an argument in itself. Oh well, it's still winter and we all still need to be amused by something for a while longer.
At least we know one thing he actually is better at than any of us........
Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

I know that there are people here that didnt graduate from HS, so forgive me if I affend you. But if you drop out of HS for anything other than psychological or medical problems for Freaking retarded. There is no reason why anyone should drop out! HS is just way to easy, they make it almost impossible to fail.
If your out of HS and didnt graduate, Go back. They now have online classes where you can get your diploma online. You would be suprised what a little maturity will do. I will offer free tutoring for anyone that would like to go back. Im serious! A diploma is just way to important.
Im no genious, but I have 1 year left before I recieve a degree in Mechanical Engineering. That has to speak for something.

FWIW, I think it is a great bill as well to mandate staying til you're 18. I just wanted to see what others thought.

I think it's a dumb bill, but that's because I am against compulsory schooling in general.
Look, not everybody is cut out for going to school, much less the same type of school. Running schools like jails will continue to be a problem.
I know some of you hate reading, but this is a really good read on the history of public and compulsory education in the world and specifically the US. I have this in paper form but this is the complete text online from the publisher:
http://www.mises.org/story/2226
Here's the short version: all of the founders of public education in our country, including Horace Mann, the namesake of Horace Mann elementary school right down the street from me, viewed public education as the means to make all people equal, uniform, and conformist. The early educationists in the US firmly beleived that the child was the property of the state.
The book is only 54 pages printed, it will probably only take you a couple hours to read the link above.
