you did have to go for more education because you realized you were not going to get very far without it. This is what everyone who drops out discovers and those who can manage it - do go on to get their GED's and more. There are some who never do gret over that obstacle though. Maybe a greater effort to keep kids in school could be made.

I believe it is usually the social aspect that causes kids to drop out. Maybe more effort could be applied to remedy those problems - alternative high schools have been good for some.
