: I think kids should stay in highschool. This will change their lives, for the better, and effect their future family. Sorry, but I hated high school so much it is one of th few things I can think of that is worse than McDonalds work, hour for hour. Being in school(at least to me) was prison time on the installment plan. While McDonalds can fire you, they cannot report you to the police for being "truant" from work and overtime, unlike detention, comes with pay and you can always refuse. In some cases, if they fire you for this they then have to scrape to find a replacement. Iven if they do not, at least no one is required by law to work at McD's.
When I was in high school, at age 14 I hated school dicipline so much I seriously considered suicide before I found out how to fight back. My advice to anyone stuck in school is to drop out and get a GED at age 16. Even if you want to go to college, you can still doso. Most community colleges will admit a 16 year old with a GED. In desperate situatios, there is always the"underground" runaway subculture. It's not gret, but it beats suicide or a mental hospital(some parents try this, and I have known over a dozen escapees from such hellholes).
As I have said so many times before, the real objective of schools is NOT to teach "reading,writing, and 'rithmetic" but rather to teach unquestioning obediance to authority. Tome, the people demanding submission are the enemy and should be treated as such.
