Exactly. I always feel bad for those kids whose parents make them come the last few days of school when everyone knows you don't have to be there.

So, if they're the last ones to let their kids stay home, what's stopping them from renting a motel room for the day and locking them in there? or a storage locker... or worse?

There's a lot worse place a kid can be.

Slow down, I'm agreeing with you. My question was rhetorical/directed at the mouth-breathers that are hell-bent weakening the fabric of our society.

How many of you either send your kids to school ONLY because it's legally required and/or were sent to school ONLY because it was legally required?

None?

Okay...point given to franklin.

Plenty of high school kids go to school because they are legally required. They ticket kids these days for skipping school. If a kid wants to avoid the ticket he/she will attend school and not apply themselves. They will be a disruption to their classmates. No one gains anything by forcing a know it all punk to attend school but a lot is lost.

So your answer is to give up on any teenager with a attitude? To remove them from the educational system? All that does is guarantee they end up that punk.

No way, make him stay. That way, he can drag two or three of his buddies down with him, all while ****ing up the allotted time and resources that kids, who want to be there, desperately need.
 
Maybe my high school experience was unusual, but I don't remember having to deal with any statist indoctrination OR terrible kids dragging the whole school down with them.

It's a fine line. Fun to talk to seniors and they always admit to how stupid they were as sophs. A lot of kids turn it around when it looks hopeless. But then there are the tools that don't make it and do drag down their classmates and said classmates are better off when those tools dropout or go to jail or whatever.

What I've never understood is when kids miss class but then loiter at the school.
