In Sweden, you can go to school till you are sick of school thanks to the massive welfare state built around higher institutions of learning.

I disagree that drop outs are a good idea. How do we know if kids are dropping out because they can't learn or because of other issues?

Why does this matter? People can be emotionally or intellectually stupid. Or they can come from backgrounds that do not support eduction. I have a nephew with a 155 IQ who is a car mechanic because his parents felt that this was his calling.
