No dropouts till 18: Is Obama’s proposal a good one?

Tell me about classmates you resign or about classmates who decline school. Otherwise, what do you think would happen?

Last week Mr. Obama proposed a new dropout rule for American schools at his state address. "If students do not quit their education, more students will go to the stage to obtain diplomas," he said. "If students are not allowed to drop out, they will do better, so tonight I will go to high school for all students until each state - all the states - graduate or 18 years old I would like to ask you to ask "

Now the president has not announced a new national law on the podium. When I attended the meeting the next day, he did not even ask Congress to pass that legislation.

President Obama urged the state (its legislature and governor) to raise its withdrawal age by the laws of his country otherwise. Now you can not drop out to California, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Mexico, and other 14 states by the age of 18. But there are still 32 states that will allow you to drop out of school when you are young. Many people's law is set at 17 years old, but there are laws that allow students with hearing impairments only for 16 years old.

The idea is 18 years old, you are legally adults, you can vote, you can serve in the army, and you should be allowed to decide the fate of your own education then is. But until then, the president said. If the law prohibits you from leaving school before reaching milestones, you can concentrate on more study and achieve higher grades at school - at least Obama's reasoning

However, students learn at their own pace. This is an important element to drop out of school. As with triangulation, if everyone in the class is reluctant to pass, you are working hard - there is no one there to help you - you feel frustrated and interested in work No, I would like to drop out of school. Education supporters say that after school tutoring programs more funds are needed to ensure that students who have not learned early still maintain their pace

The editorial of the Los Angeles Times raises another problem: It does not mean that people obey it just because the state passed the law. According to the statistics of 2011, in California, it is forbidden by the law to drop a junior high school by the age of 18, 18.2% of the students still drop out of junior high school. "It may be one of the least compliant laws in our province," the editorial read. "Like most of the education it is not that simple."

Is President Obama 's proposal to raise the age of abortion good? Does it help students focus on their research? Do you still need funds to support learning? What is the problem with Los Angeles Times: Do you think students will abide by the law? Let 's join the discussion.

With many of Cheong Wa Dae policy suggestions last night, you may have missed the forefront of him and may be urging the state to adopt 18 dropout age with the goal of reducing the dropout rate not. Now, in most states, students have to go to school from 16 to 17 years old. But even before last night's speech, in some states I was considering a law to raise the age of dropouts, such as Wyoming and Kentucky. Many states (first half 19) have raised the mandatory school age to 18 years old. As so many state governments do this, the president's implementation of this policy is probably effective.

Only 21 states are obliged to go to high school until graduation, or until they are over 18 years old. This proposal President Obama announced in North Korea 's speech on Tuesday night is one step in the right direction, but lowering the dropout rate is not enough and it places a heavy burden on the entire economy. The price is not just those who could not obtain a diploma. In 1970, America had the highest senior high school and university graduation rate in the world. Today, according to the data of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), we ranked 21st in high school and 15th in college graduation because the quality of primary and secondary education in other countries exceeded us.
