Dorys Frometa (Edison) Educational System !

The educational system in the United States seems pretty strange to me. It is unbelieveable how students practically do whatever they want now a day. While most students between the ages of 17 and 18 graduate each year, many states allow for the student to voluntary remove themselves from enrollment, or “drop out” without earning a diploma. I understand that when you are 18 and have enough maturity to make decisions you can do whatever you want, but if you are a mature person why take this path? Dropping out of high school is a choice that can cost many suffrages to not only one self, but it can damage a person’s future in many ways! Think about it.. when you don’t have a full education you are not only missing out on the great information they give you at school that is implied in the real world, but you will never be able to have a really good job where you can get a decent salary to support youself. I know from experience that school is the most stressing thing in the world apart from bills, but whether we like it or not, we need an education. And having problems or going through really tough stuff is no excuse to drop out. There are many options where you can find help, like counseling at school or counseling outside school. If you think school is too hard and you just can’t deal with it anymore… try to get tutoring or something, but believe me, you NEED an education. I’m not saying be a straight A student, but at least try getting a B or C average where you can graduate from high school and at least enter a technical school… There’s no need to get a job at McDonalds (no offense to those who work at McDonaldfs, I’ve had a part time there) but why do it when you can become a lawyer, a doctor or be someone big. Isn’t it better to wake up in the morning and say “oh yes i’m going to do something I like” instead of the usual “ugh, work again” so think on it and help those kids who take the wrong decisions.. especially parents, if you feel like you have no control over your children when they turn 18, try at least talking to them.. and if you can’t get anywhere by talking, make sure you do anything and everything to show them how good it is to be an intellectual person who has an amazing future and not just random person in the street with a really low paying job when you could’ve had a better life! Oh and by the way if anybody doubts this is a social problem, google it or read books and you will see that the educational system is very wrong on allowing this kids to drop out with no punishment..!
