Some kids hate school with their own guts but why do they still go?
I know their parents might kill them, but they can only do so much. The government don't have a right to our private lives so why is it the law to go? It's kinda oxy moron

To our great misfortune, the public education system has become a measure of success up to this point in our lives. I'm 17 and hate school with a burning passion mostly becuase i don't learn much that i don't already know. The public education system is no longer about education, it's simply about being a way to measure success.
Adults have salarys, jobs, social classes, etc. to measure their success, but they think that they need a measure for kids. So they tell us to sit in a room all day with some completely ignorant idiot standing at the front of the room trying to cram useless information down our throats so that when we get out into the "real world" we can be measured (yet again) by useless, meaningless scales (namely, the aformentioned money)
Basically we go becuase if we don't we won't be successful, and nobody cares enough to listen to the kids who have to sit through this torture just so we can have any hope of making enough money to someday support a family.
Adults don't give a donkey's rear-end that we don't learn anything useful to our careers (or the "real-world") past the 6th grade, they just need something to measure us by and something to keep us out of their way so that they can go screw up the world before they die and leave us to deal with the aftermath of disaster.
Anybody who finds my opinions even in the least bit intriguing PLEASE feel free to contact me at rocketmannate@yahoo.com

The govt made it a law so that kids have to get an education because otherwise some parents would make their kids work in a factory 7 days a week. If you hate school so much, ask your parents if they'll homeschool you. Then you can't miss a day of school, but you won't have to deal with public school.

Smart kids will go for their own good. Slack off and drop out now and you'll never graduate. You might get to write a GED later in life, of maybe you'll have to go back and get different credits from an adult learning institutiuon. Either way, it holds you back in life if you don't go to school. I have my grade 12, was an honor role student AND i have a post secondary diploma, and I STILL have a hard time finding good paying jobs. I'm considering going back for even MORE school! I suppose if a kid decides they don't want to go, they really don't HAVE to, but in the end they're only messing up their own lives.

Actually ... school is manditory through 10th grade only. One is free to drop out past then, but now days with jobs requiring some college to get more than a life long boring job most people that hate it will stick it out if it means they can have a good job later. It's kind of a drive to get money later ... I find it petty and I think that people should want to learn for their own bettermeant but oh well ... not my life. The question is do you want to work at Burger King the rest of your life or be able to take vacations and supply for a family? Most opt to being able to supply.

That is the law. It is not a home invasion or privacy infraction that is something to do with the public and future generations and the economy of the world. They can only be forced to go to school till they are 18 or graduate HS or get that hs equivalancy

i know many people that dropped out in middle school. also, kids go because its against the law not to and because of parents...most kids know its best for them to go but go even though they will hate it. its not really that bad though and most will stick with it. the reason its against the law not to go is because we want to be an educated country and not a country of morons.

Because the government knows that if kids don't go to school, the future will be doomed. The government may not get a lot right but they got that
