[QUOTE="webmogul, post: 1479870, member: 7408"] I'm kind of on the fence on this one. On one hand it is intrusion on what is essentially bad parenting, in some cases a bad school environment or other extenuating circumstances. And yes you are taking away a means of someone going and getting a job or whatever. However, that fact alone may be enough to not motivate the student, but perhaps to motivate the parent(s) to help their kids stay in school so they won't be sitting at home getting into trouble when they could be going to work or whatever. Another thing to think about is a lot of jobs are out of reach if you don't have a diploma or GED, which means you can't "move up", which means the state (i.e. us) usually ends up paying for welfare, food stamps or other subsidies. Yes I know not everyone who drops out is on welfare and all that, but I'll bet the majority are or will be. As much as I hate to say it, the sate issues the drivers license so they have the right to put prerequisites around it. [/QUOTE]
