Qui Tam Legislation might offer some protection, but he has to have a documented plan. If he doesn't have a documented plan, it is his fault and he gets to pay the price for doing something he knows is illegal.
I agree with it being disingenuous, but there are a TON of other reasons for kids to drop out. The figures shouldn't be the only reason we have issues, here.
My guess is that they're the "fringe" people that don't feel like they belong, or they have responsibilities like parenthood, that force them to get jobs. I don't think that perfectly adjusted, well mannered, Ralph Lauren wearing teenagers are dropping out of school.
I've worked with various populations and in one position I worked in an Emergency Department. A lot kids that I saw were absolute trash, pregnant and 15 and not going to school. Yeah...what we're missing out on is mandatory birth control for certain income brackets. (Of course I don't mean that, I'm just being hateful...in a funny way.)
There is no good answer for this, we've been combating it for years. Some people just don't want to go to school. I hated school when I was a kid, but I'm finishing my BS in Public Health, Administration, now. Things change. If I had to do it all over again, I would have dropped out and taken the GED, applied to college and started my life EONS ago.
