Why school should be compulsory

[Thought Criminal]

Eh I've kinda stopped giving much of a shit. Looking back on it school wasn't that bad. Sure it's not like high school taught me much but elementary school definitely serves it's purpose. If school was made non-compulsory it would probably only be an option for high schoolers, and that's kinda already the case seeing as you can drop out.
It would only handicap those who decide to quit. The only people who drop out in high school are deadbeat assholes, stoners, and people who don't give a shit.
Does the public school system need serious change? YES. God yes.
There are so many things we can do to improve schools and education in the U.S.
Will it ever happen? Doubtful.
Education is the last thing Politicians give a fuck about. People like Rommeny and Obama have their own agendas and I guarantee you education is at the bottom of that list. The senate committee on education is titled "Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions". Nobody gives a fuck about us. We might get thrown a bone occasionally when someones vying for reelection but nothing big will ever happen.
