15? Its 16 - what country are you in? In the United States the first state to adopt compulsory education until the age of 16 was Massachusetts in 1852 and by the end of the 19th century every state of the United States had done the same.
Good Luck!!!

I like what we have in Tennessee. You don't have good grades. No Driver;s License. You don't graduate, no Driver's License till you are 18.
So why do you think people are too smart to continue school?
