I might have worked harder in high school if I knew I couldn't get my driver's license until I finished up school. Rex, you might just have a unique approach to getting students to stay in school!

It may seem as though it is more difficult to pass to the next grades in public schools, but really it isn't. The way in which students are taught now is the big difference to how they were educated in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. You are right in that we, as a general public, need to find new ways to reach our students and show them the value of staying in school. Thanks for that insight.

All this does is to discourage kids further and just wait for the time when they can quit school.

Require a high school diploma to get a driver's license - no exceptions. Kids typically want a driver's license more than anything else. Oh sure, you can "grandfather" in the people who already received a driver's license without a high school diploma. But after a certain date, that's it - no more. The dropout rate would fall dramatically. Possibly rescind temporary driver's licenses upon failure to graduate by a certain age - maybe 19. This is easy.
