High School Dropouts Options

[MeanBastard]

How can someone not pass highschool? I know two people who dropped out, and I have to wonder how dumb you have to be not to be able to pass H.S. They make it so you can graduate, even if you're a total buffoon. For example, the normal math curriculum includes : Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus, stupid people are allowed to take "Basic Math" and "Math for living" classes where the only requirment is that you can do basic arithmetic. I can only imagine what goes through an employer's head when they see that someone is a highschool dropout--its basically a sign that reads "I'm too stupid to live".


THIS IS REGARDING IN TODAYS WORLD AND WHERE EDUCATION IS FREE

rofl... you're ignorant, ya know that??

Your first assumption... People who don't graduate high school are stupid...

Not every situation is like that, hun... far from it too... Ever think that maybe those people have personal problems?? Maybe they've made a few mistakes, and they can't go back on 'em now? Maybe they've hung out with the wrong crowd, they get distracted, ignore the fact that they need/want to finish highschool and just don't make it??

How can you judge someone just cuz they dropped out of highschool? You're an idiot to assume that stuff... seriously... You don't know what ANY of those people go through... Maybe doing things that caused them to drop out of high school were dumb, but you can't assume that they themselves are dumb as well

^Couldn't have said it better.
Sometimes they just can't handle high school because of some PERSONAL problems.

EXAMPLES: family drug use, family deaths, bad living arrangements, illness in the family, friend drug use, friend deaths, etc, etc.

They're not all stupid. Some are, yes, but don't be so f*cking quick to judge them that they're all stupid just because they dropped out.
