“Don’t send them to jail, just kick them out of school. They don’t want to be there anyway and are just a drain on everyone who wants to be there.”
I agree that sending the kids to jail is not the correct approach. The problem lies in the fact that most these kids don’t have a decent role model in their life, traditionally their parents. Once they are out of school at that young age, if they are not self motivated to enter the work force, most likely they’ll become an even worse drain on society, and without some sort of ‘come to Jesus’ moment, they may be a lifetime drain. That DOES seem to be the plan of those running our country right now anyway.
I don’t see that it makes much difference. If they don’t want to be in school you can’t really make them ... unless I guess if you jail them or their parents, but then what is that accomplishing?
Making them go to school when they quite obviously do not want to be there is only hurting those who do want to be there.
