Turning kids into productive, educated citizens not only benefits them, but all of us.

Dropping out of high school pretty much means competing for jobs with unskilled illegal immigrants who are willing to work a lot harder and for a lot less money. I'm sure many young people haven't really thought this through when they make the decision to drop out of high school.

“competing for jobs...”

I agree with you. Again, I don’t want to sound like a liberal, but here is where I am: We can’t have equal outcomes in our society. We really can’t ensure that all children start from the same point - but we should work toward that goal. Every child, regardless of color or background, deserves to have an equal starting point. What they do after that is up to them.-—JM
