People don't 'choose' to drop out. People 'have' to drop out. Many
reasons, but poverty is the main one. Don't display your ignorance of
social problems in this news group.

Bull Crap. Read the job applications. I interview some of these dropouts.
I ask them why they did not finish school. They CHOOSE to drop out. I
see them all the time. I rarely hire them. Sure, in some cases it is a
real problem, (and I did hire this young man) but most are just too damned
lazy to finish school. I get answers like "it was too hard" or "the
teachers were not very good" or "I didn't like the way the school was run"
How about "I don't think I need no English classes"

Next question I ask is about getting a GED. Typical answers are "my
probation officer tell me I should" and some have genuine reasons like "I
ain't gota car so I can't get there". Of course "there" is less than a mile
walk.

Don't display your ignorance in newsgroups.
