So, worried about a dropout rate b/c your schools suck and don't offer value, you FORCE kids to stay in for 2 more years. Depriving them of a chance at a livelihood, and raising the costs to the taxpayers, and exposing the remaining students to disruptive, disenfranchised rather-be-dropouts?

That makes a lot of sense.

I think this is hilarious. More do-gooder bureaucrats who think that checking boxes means a problem is solved. Meanwhile, don't worry about all those unintended consequences...just keep us around and we'll solve those problems too!

Unless it's health care and you're dead!

For every "Empty Seat" in a School House, means "Empty Federal Tax Dollars" for that Student be he/she/it a Perfect Acting 4.0'er or a Hoodlum Trouble Making 1.1'er.

It is not about Giving an Education to children, it is about the missing Tax Dollars when a Kid quits school.

Federal Money is a huge motivator in keeping the Rapist, Drug Running, Gang Member Punks "Chained" to a School Chair and let them stay stupid and act up in class - - which we all know robs good learners of a lot of time and makes their effort that much harder to stay good.

This ain't a Robin Hood state of mind that's for sure.
