This week President Obama said that he wants to pass legislation that states no person can drop out of high school before the age of 18. The republicans, posting their opposition to anything Obama said that the federal government doesn't have the right to interfere in state laws regarding the age when a person can drop out of high school. Both parties are dropping the ball, isn't is about having children stay in school?
Personally I think that kids should not be able to drop out of high school or any pre-college schooling and home schooling should be banned. The freedom card cannot be played here. I don't care how many parents and students complain, kids need to complete school and get a high school diploma. The president's idea and the republican's are misplaced and do nothing to help the state of education in this nation. Home schooling does not help, parents are not qualified to teach a children advanced levels of the various subjects that students are required to learn. Parents should be the ones to help their children after the school day is over with, adding to their children's learning. A parent cannot teach their child everything even if they are intelligent in one particular field of education.
If my point isn't clear enough why children should be made to stay in school, then just go to New York City where they paint there road signs pointing to the "Shcool". I rest my case.
