Children are required to stay in school until they reach sixteen years of age, but after that they have to make the decision on their own. Hopefully they will make the right one!
Some people might argue that students drop out of school because they cant get good grades, or some people even drop out because they are stuck on drugs, or they either have a teen pregnancy and they cant afford it, so they gave to work, but I believe it is because they don't like it or they would rather be working.
But people argue in many different ways but the cause of not going to school would be not ever having a good job or not going to get anywhere in life, and a cause of that would be that you would have to start stealing to get things you want, the cause of that would be that you would be going to jail for who knows how long. And the cause of that would make it worse on your life. So, so far there are a lot of causes from dropping out of school but the question is why do students drop out. Another cause of dropping out could be that you would have to be a roofer and have very little if any business. And if you made no business you would make no money, so the whole point is that you would if students drop out they may never have a life and have to live in a homeless shelter.
