It's ironic that states are upping the school leaving age to 18 in many states. Kids have had enough of high school. They really want out.
There was a story in educationnews.org today about a high school in Dallas that wouldn't let kids go to the bathroom during class unless they were accompanied by a POLICE OFFICER or the school nurse. Who the hell needs that crap whether you're six years old or 16 years old?
Going to high school is such an unattractive option today what with inane zero tolerance rules, cameras all over the place, pee tests, cops with taser guns patrolling the halls, PC indoctrination and all the rest of it. Who wants to go to a school where you're considered a potential criminal who has to be watched and monitored every second of the day? Who wants to go to a school where you slip up once, and your academic career is finished?
This is a wake up call to the public schools. There are so many more options out there and savvy kids know it.
