 Ok. What would happen if 70% of all Americans drop out of school by age 13? So 70% of Americans never even enter high school.

How would we as a society function without enough people for all the jobs that require a minimum of a high school diploma in Healthcare, police, fire, military, engineering, law ect?

Compare that situation with 70% of Americans  not playing organised sports after 13 ie what we currently have. Yes obesity is an issue but obese kids where the least likely to enjoy sports as kids in my experience, they lose weight by other means like jogging or the gym and recreational swimming.

You are not actually being logical.  A diploma is not necessarily an education.  The majority of the jobs you listed don’t actually require a diploma to do well - it’s completely arbitrary.  (Do you really think a person can’t effectively fight fires unless they took world history and trigonometry, for example?)

Also, it’s “etc”, not “ect”.  Did you not take Latin in high school?  If not you’re clearly unqualified to do your job, right?[/quote]
