I don't get the trend of being all cool and dropping out of High School or College or whatever. High School gets out at 2 or 3 pm, leaving plenty of time to learn on your own or build projects. At that age are you really going to start a business? Besides, school provides motivation to learn, especially Colleges, because you are paying for it and don't want to fail classes.
- PretzelFisch 11y agohigh school does not provide motivation. That comes from the students that know what their next step is and want to get into college.
- dalke 11y agoUmm, you realize a lot of people are motivated to graduate from high school because they have career plans which don't require college, right? There are entire high school programs of vocational, technical, and career education for those whose idea of a "next step" is different from an academically oriented career that most colleges teach. There are also people who graduate from high school because their goal is to enter the military, either as a career or for specialized training, and the military requires a high school degree. Also, by the same logic, college does not provide motivation either.
- PretzelFisch 11y agoI thought I had more emphasis on next step when I wrote the reply. I don't believe school is ever the motivation. Those that are motivated in school see it as a means to an end.
