What incentive is it for a kid to finish school when he can go work in a factory making up to $20 an hour. At least that is the mentality of so many small town residents.<BR/><BR/>The state can make dropping out harder, but it wtill won't be a deterrant. Kids have to value an education and that value has to be instilled in them by their parents and peers, and that doesn't happen in many areas of the state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1152128545260075282006-07-05T14:42:00.000-05:002006-07-05T14:42:00.000-05:00You know, I'm tired of hearing we have a hgih drop out problem.
