High School Dropouts...

I had no idea that 25% of people don't get their diploma in four years. I actually think Obama's plan is kind of stupid. Yeah, less kids will drop out, but if they don't want to be here, don't make them. Honestly, not every kid is meant to graduate and go on to college. More than encouraging them to stay in regular high school, it would probably be helpful to encourage "under average" students to go to technical school so they at least have a job waiting. That being said, schools need to stop pushing for honors ad AP for EVERY kid. This makes the kids who don't do well in those classes feel stupid. It just means not everyone is cut out for them and there's nothing wrong with that, but there need to be more "regular" options available.
