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

I think that your problem, th5418, is that you think much too highly of yourself and the work that you do. Highschool isn't something that comes naturally to some people, like doing work and making friends. Sometimes people have too much pressure put on to them and can't handle it.

Not everyone is as wonderful and perfect as you, and not everyone can finish high school.

Sometimes people have to drop out and get a job to support their families, or maybe they have something more important (in their opinion) than school. Like taking time off to do something more. Like inventing something...

And it's not like these people don't want to finish high school, a lot of them wait until they're adults and financially able to start going to high school again, then they graduate.
