[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the end of the school year the begins when they are 21.  So if they turn 22 they stay until graduation of that year.[/quote]

Twenty one is only for esol and special ed[/quote]

There are kids like mine starting high school as 13 year olds. What dumbass decided an adult old enough to buy alcohol and who could be arrested for statuatory rape or sex with a minor if he dated any of his classmates should remain in traditional school?

21 year olds do not belong in high school.

20 should only be for special ed.

Everyone else should go to an alternative high school once they hit 19.

I agree.

I've had a few 19 yo in my freshmen English classes.

They eventually drop out b/c some tough teachers refuse to pass them, as their skill level is so low.  Or they graduate (b/c admin passes them along and overturns grades). But they land in jail or out of work.

happens all the time

They are raising the dropout age from 16 to 18.  But kids can drop out at any age really. As long as classroom attendance records (absences) are accurate, it's up to the PPWs, school counselors, psychologists, etc. to deal with the truancy boards.  But you can never force a kid to return if the parents are negligent.  And CPS rarely does what it needs to do.
