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 |

yeah, I wonder that myself sometimes also. My friend didn't graduate high school because he was doing drugs and NEVER went to school... whenever he went, he would ditch some of his classes... IMO, high school was sooo easy, all you have to do is attend...
 oh well...

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 |

Family problems... friend problems... addiciton problems... distractions from school...
I'm not gonna get into details with any of this, because you probably wont understand, so I'm not even gonna effing bother with you about that... I just find it to be ignorance on your part when you assume sh!t about people in general when you don't even know the half of it |

Addiction problems? Hence, drug addict? Yes, you already are too stupid to live if you are doing drugs. Why the hell are you smoking and doing heroin or whatever. You're going to end up dead, and dead. Distractions from school? Whats distracting you? Girls? Guys? Yes, great reason for you to drop out. Family problems eh. Sure, I'll leave in one or two excpetions. Like if their mom has cancer and you are her only family. Friend problems. How exactly will your friend have you drop out. Back up some statements please.

I knew a girl that dropped out because she got pregnant, she wasn't too stupid to graduate high school though... but she had to because she had to take care of her baby... but in the case of my friend, mentioned above, he was just dumb... he never took school seriously.  //EDIT// this seems to be turning into a debate... so maybe it should be moved??? |

some ppl just dont care, or think they have all the time in the world. but whatever, that's their decision. or they have other things that they find more important to them. ..
like, a few of my buddies that i was talking to the other day have dropped out or just not cared, and well, for the most part, they're regretting it. ie; "if only i could go back to hs, i would be a straight A student" and that kinda stuff. sadly, we're only allowed one chance. so, try to care, even a little. [=x i shouldnt be talking tho. i havent really cared about my schooling... -_- but i'm gonna stick in there& graduate .. ^^*] |

i live in texas... its pretty hard to graduate in my school district..
to basically graduate u need to have passed english 1,2,3,4 passed 3 diff math's, pass 2 diff sciences, 1 1/2 yrs of PE/Athletics, Health, Speech and AAS (Advanced Academic Skills), ECO/GOV, US and World History 1 Technology Class 1 Science Elective and there's probaly more to it.... and pass the TAKS test ur junior year for Science, Math, Reading and Writing.... if u dont pass the TAKS, u take it ur senior year and if u dont pass it again, ur focked.. u take taks ur sophomore and freshman year also but the sophomore one doesnt really count... THEREFORE... we get a couple of dropouts every year... but its only like a couple of them.... and then our school has alot of damn rules. |
