i think you’re right. kids should be charged in a sense. school should not be mandatory. you should have to competitively battle to stay in. there shold eb alimited number of seats whichh the class competes to remain in. by compelling students to attend a program wich is not necessarily of interest to them, we create a culture of non-learning.

moreover, it is irresponsible to give high school stduents large sums of money. it’s almost inviting them to develop a drug or alcohol problem. even small sums of money should be closely monitored before theya re given to any student.
