Jump down from that soapbox Boob F . We lived in a mostly black
neighborhood , our kids went to school with black kids and my wife
taught in a mostly black school in the Arkansas Delta region . The
one recurrent theme we found was that most black kids don't do well
in school . Not from lack of talent or intelligence , but because of
PEER PRESSURE . Those black people that gave so much to give these
children a chance to succeed must be spinning in their graves at the
way these kids have thrown away all that they worked and sacrificed
for .

Snag, you really hit it there. That is ne loop that has to be broken.
Too many are not qualified to do a job if one is available.

We had need for some very low skilled workers I'd never hire anyone
that did not graduate high school. I found out that if you did not
have enough moxie to get through 12 years of school, you were not
going to do well in the workplace either.

Can't agree with that. Mate of mine who I have known since he was a
school
kid is one of those people who arent academic at all. His dad died when
he
was at the bottom of high school and his mother was a school teacher.
He
decided to drop out of school a full year before that was even legal.

He ended up doing fine, doing the major media golf events and stuff
like that.

So you know of one. I know of at least a dozen that did not make it and
wasted time hiring and training.

Of course no high school graduate ever did that.

I know of plenty that have.

There is no excuse in the past few decades not to finish school.

It isn't an excuse, its a fact that plenty have enough
of a clue to work out that what is taught in the last
few years of high school will be no use in the sort
of work that they will choose to do, most obviously
with those who are self employed, who chose to
work in trades and in retail.

It is not 1940 any more where you quit to help the family after 8th
grade.

But there are still plenty who dont need what
is taught in the last couple of years of high
school for the sort of work that plenty still
do and do until they choose to retire.

OK, you are right. Every 15 year old knows what he needs and does not
need to be a success in life.

Some do have enough of a clue to have noticed that
no one they know adult wise uses any of what is taught
in the last couple of years of high school, particularly
with those I listed, or has an adult point that out to them.

If you drop out of high school it is usually because you don't have the
mental fortitude to stick with anything but you will be a success on
YouTube.

Usually is irrelevant to what is true of some that dont
complete high school. In fact it may well be that those
with enough of a clue to have noticed that what is taught
in the last couple of years of high school are likely to be
a more useful employee than those who can't work that out.

My experience differs from your.

Yours isnt experience, its mindless one eyed bigotry.
