I realize that students should be held accountable for their education as long as they'll stay in school. I also see the side that if they don't want to be there, they could create trouble for other students and teachers- which is no good for anyone. I don't think mandating them to stay is the answer. I think that we as teachers and other staff members must create an atmosphere that is conducive to positive learning and other good stuff
. But I think that just passing laws isn't enough, cause there's always ways found around the laws. And then we just have more juvenile ofenders, which is what we tried to eliminate with the law in the first place. My two cents!
