Should Children be required to attend school past the age of sixteen?

     By autumn of 2008 the government proposed that a new age leaving the school will be at the age of 18, and it will come to force from 2013-2015.  The absence rate for year 11 pupils age 15-16 is currently over 10 per cent and schools facing challenging circumstances even higher leading some to argue that leaving age should be reduce to 14 from the current 16.

     They claim the legislation will result simply called "warehousing"  truculent youth rather than producing the skilled workers of tomorrow.

     This new leaving age of 18 can be seen as a final effort to include the reluctant 23 per cent of 16-18 years old who don't pursue any education or training once they leave school.  It is probable that the final few will be fairly resistant to legal penalties for non-attendance-so is it a desirable or realistic policy to pursue?  But there should be mandatory efforts to help this situation.  It is a crisis in the United States of America.  It would help the situation with children staying in school and pursuing an education to combat the learning process for a job in the future.
     But will the policy work and what have we learned, or should I say what has history taught us?

BIO POEM

My name Juanita
     Has come a long way.......Life to me has not been fair, but I have found a life that will take me a long way.......Hardworking, loving my family --Daughter, sons, grand kids, my brothers, sister, nieces, nephews, all are part of the family, the unity in the family is important to me.
     Birthdays, special days getting together to celebrate, just to be together again loving the family. It is a large family, but what are families about? They are your best friends, and people that are part of your life.  Loving all my family.
     Some have left us, but not because they wanted to, but because  it was their time.  We cannot avoid that part, of life and , mmeanwhile there is sadness, loneliness, and crying because you miss them, and you cannot see them.  But then you remember that one day! one glorious day!  you will see them again.
     Then it brings me to remembrance the accomplishments that we both had in life, and that was our family we raised them together, and we loved them together, those were the happiest moments of our life.
     But then he told us, "Persue your dreams, and never give up." " Go on with your life and do not fear anything that confronts you." "Just look ahead and never look back."  Memories are there, but life continues
     Proud to be brought up in Immokaee which means my Home, and this tells you about the Reyna name and proud of it.
