Monday matters

Steve Chapman argues that the new policy made by President Obama forcing all children to attend school until they are 18 or they get their diploma as a question to it. He asks wether it is beneficial for those students who were planning to drop out at a early age stay in school longer. For example, a student who is failing all his classes and must help support his home through working cannot not spare the time of school until 18. This comment arises another question, will the high school diploma of this child make that much of an impact on the future of the child?
