Maybe we should consider high school as not being mandatory anymore. That should save a lot of money. In addition to that, you can offer a very small payment for kids who keep out of trouble, not arrested, etc….like welfare, but starting at 13. Make sure to get the kids consent though since some families may want to get kids for just the money…will be a mess and impossible to administer, but all these ‘solutions’ for failing kids who don’t care are a waste of resources/money. Would really like to see kids who just don’t care to leave the system…no other place for them though.
Just seems cheaper to just pay them off to go away.
