[FocusOnBasics 819] Compulsory Attendance to Age 18

A bill is currently on the floor to raise the compulsory age of school
attendance from 16 to 18.

I agree with the idea, but have severe reservations as to the actual
effects/consequence of this law.

Can those who live in one of the 17 states with such a law comment on
the effects of the law?

Thanks,

Jim

Do not despise the small act.

Every small act, if you do it deeply, profoundly, can touch the whole
universe.

Millions of small acts will build a wonderful world.
