Saving Our Youth's Education

Being a student in high school, kids should not be allowed to drop out.  Kids should not have the choice of skipping out on their education to stay at home and play video games.  Yes, school may be a drag for some high school students, but going to school and getting an education is what life is all about.
I agree with President Obamas decision to make every student who is enrolled in high school to graduate.  How do students who drop out expect to get a job?  If they drop out of high school there is a high chance they are not going to go to college?  In this economy, business owners are not looking to higher a drop out student from high school.
Getting your high school education really isn’t that hard.  Most high school students would say that high school was a breeze for them.  Getting up and going to class isn’t a hard thing to do, and you’re out of class in the early afternoon so you have the whole rest of the day to do what want.
President Obama’s plan should be enforced immediately to help save many kids lives that drop out of high school.  According to childtrendsdatabank.org the high school drop out rate has declined, but that doesn’t mean it won’t rise again.  Many young students who drop out of high school are unlikely to have minimum skills and credentials necessary to function in today’s society.
