high school does not provide motivation. That comes from the students that know what their next step is and want to get into college.

  Umm, 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.

    I 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.

      In my school district, school was only required until 16. Some did leave school then. Everyone who remained had some sort of motivation, because it was voluntary.
