Who killed Mr. Boddy in the study and with what?: the great debate topic™®
Nomel:
high level math is helpful; you could say otherwise a generation ago, but good luck living your life off of low- education jobs with workforce automation becoming more prevelant
and even if it's not directly helpful, learning math is stimulating and it makes a person a lot more intelligent
also remembur kids
extracurricular skills are more important than good grades
Cantaloupe:
I think that it should be mandatory until the age of 14-16. Many people simply are not equipped for academics. It isn't for everyone. I think that the only problem with having kids drop out at such early ages is that then they don't know what their future holds. For high school dropouts, job training programs should be a must, or else what will they become in society?

I paid attention plenty, and I heard a bunch of stuff I already read about on the internet. Nothing I heard in high school has translated to a useful skill in my day-to-day life. Every bit of knowledge
I have now about life and my job had to come from the internet cause I wasn't getting it in school.
