What should you do? Do you drop out off school in your sophomore year? Do you just hope your mom can handle it on her own? I would stay in school because of these 3 specific reasons that I am about to tell you about. I also think that schools should raise the dropout age to 18 years old because, students should be able to make this decision when they are older and smarter, you need a high school diploma to get into a good college, and getting a good job will be a lot harder without a diploma.]]> 2017-01-18 19:21:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147926601 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147926714 Imagine you are thinking of dropping out if school because you find it not interesting and you feel like you learn absolutely nothing. But you know what you want to do when you are older. What if we made a new school for students like you who don't find school interesting but at the school they taught you everything you want to know about the job you want to do in the future. Every student there has the same interests as you. Would that make you stay in school? If there was more than one way to graduate and still make a good living for yourself. There are things in school they don’t teach like finance or business. For example let's say you want to go into the business world this type of thing is for you. This is why i believe we shouldn’t read the graduation rate but try and find ways to make school more relevant.

And decide to dropout of school because I have a lamborghini and don't need to buy a subaru to go to college and have all the money in the world but then your parents take away your car and give you bike. And make you go to school but you already dropout and then you work in walmart with other people that also dropout of school then you realize if you stayed in school you could be the president of USA and fin out donald trump took away your job so that's why they should raise the dropout rate at 18. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:22:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147926799 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147927354 Life is harsh, trying to keep up with others and struggling to keep up your health needs takes money, as well as most things do. But without a good career and education, it seems almost impossible. There’s nothing like having an easy life without worries on debt, but is it likely without a high school diploma? Most people think ‘no, you don’t have to’, but a decline in economy, social status, and success would disrupt the comfortable life you strive for. In life, you need to get uncomfortable to eventually be comfortable.

We have all been there, sitting next to that one person who never wants to be at school. They just don’t want to be there, and that makes you not want to be there either, and some are saying make them stay in school by raising the pre-graduation age even though they’re damaging others capabilities to learn. So, i don’t want to raise the pre-graduation age, i think it should stay the way it is because, there are other ways to lower pre-graduation rates, it causes more problems than it solves, and some people may need to drop out for personal problems.

He could have stayed in school but no. He dropped out at the age of 16. Sadly this happens millions of times a year. This needs to stop. We need to raise the pre graduation age to 18 because kids who drop out tend to have a negative impact over their life, the longer you stay in school the more money you could earn, and people who drop out normally have a lower job satisfaction.

And if schools not relevant to the student he or she won't want to be there. Lastly the student might get stressed out from going to school so, he or she might cope with that stress but drinking or doing drugs instead of dropping out.]]> 2017-01-18 19:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928396 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928429 There is nothing like staying in school and getting a college degree but there are kids out there who don't have the love and support they need from friends family even teachers or if something happen in there family they drop out of school and help their parents by getting a job to help pay bills because there is nothing on the shelves so the kid stays up all night and decides they are dropping out of school. People think the pre graduation rate should be raised but then the kids who need to help their family can't because they are forced to stay in school so they cant help there family so that's why I think the pre gradation rate should not be raised ]]> 2017-01-18 19:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928429 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928739 2017-01-18 19:27:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928739 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928743 So there was this guy named Don and he quit high school at 16. He thought that it would be easier then going to school until 14 years later he's stuck working at a junk yard because he dropped out of high school. Which is why i think that we should raise the pre-graduation rate. We should raise the pre-graduation rate because you can't be successful without one,There are a lot of consequences and most dropouts end up in jail.]]> 2017-01-18 19:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147928743 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929475 Some actors have dropped out of highschool same with celebrities for example  johnny depp, eminem,and mark wahlberg. But if we raise the graduation rate to 18 this may not happen as much .  I believe they shouldn't raise the graduation rate to 18 because  you can accomplish many things if you drop out at 16, some people be actors artists and many more i believe that they shouldn't raise the graduation rate to 18 because it doesn't always work, kids lose their creativity and you can achieve any thing even if you drop out of highschool at 16.]]> 2017-01-18 19:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929475 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929756 Look at all of the poor people in the world who can not afford a house living on the streets in plastic bags they call home.  20 years ago when these people decided to drop out of high school they would have never imagined living in poverty for the rest of their life.  We need to raise the graduation requirement to 18 because they will earn more money this way, they're less likely to rely on public assistance to support themselves, and are more likely to avoid problems with the law to stay out of jail. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929756 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929856  I don’t think we should raise the pre-graduation rate because you can still be successful in the long run!! Many celebrities have dropped out of school and look where they are now, they worked hard and became actors singers and much more. A couple of examples of celebrity drop out are Johnny depp and actor and music artist in his own band, eminem and rapper and actor, Ryan gosling an actor, jim carrey actor and comedian and even Drake! A famous actor and rapper. So i think that we shouldn’t raise the pre-graduation rate because this just shows that you can still be successful and it happens more often then you think. Not all kids drop out of school and become low-lifes that are lazy takes these few people that millions people look up to for an example.:)

Could you imagine if that mom didn't get to love her child because she had to give the kid up to adoption because she got pregnant in highschool and was not allowed to drop out to take care of the kid because the pre graduation age was 18. This is a reality for many girls in highschool so i believe we should not raise the pre graduation age for these three reasons, problems at home, death in the family, or a pregnancy. ]]> 2017-01-18 19:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147929890 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147930020 2017-01-18 19:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147930020 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ygvhr1odfx83/wish/147930128 I believe that students should decide to dropout of school the age of 18. If not the student may become one of those people outside of stores asking for money for their drugs especially cigarettes. The money that a hobo asked for, of a sign saying how poor his/her life is happening, he/her buy dog food for his/her dog instead themselves because the hobo didn’t graduate to find a stable life for them or their dog ( if they even decide to get one). All students have to stay in school at the age of 18 or until graduated because the student won’t find success in life, have negative impacts in their life or consequences, and if even if a student makes a responsible decision to leave school for work, that decision is likely to have a negative impact over the course of the student’s lives.

This is why We need to raise the pre-graduation rate because Many students may need another form of education, it could cause problems later in life, and it could help more people get out of debt.

As he walked out of the restaurant with that sad droopy face, did you notice that he was walking home in the rain. Since this guy did not finish school and dropped out therefore he is only making about minimum wage and can not afford that car to just drive home from work. I bet he’s wishing he could go back in time to change what he did just to have steady job where he could afford the things he needs to live. Don’t let this happen to other teens nowadays so let’s raise the pre-graduation  to eighteen so kids don’t have to suffer because of income rates, or ending up in jail, prison, or public assistances and we can even have educators find away to make school more relevant.
