yong people without an education

I think that it is up to the parents to make sure that their child gets a good education. If we left it up to our children, none of them would graduate. They may seem like they are mature enough to make that decision, but the bottom line is...they are kids. I don't know if it has anything to do with the familiy's background or not, but I have found in my personal observations that most of the time the children who drop out of school are the ones who come from uneducated families. It is a vicious cycle. Now, sometimes (although rarely), the parents understand that they don't have the education they need and want more for their children. So they push them to do better in school. But no matter what social or economic status the family has, the parents should always be held responsible for their children's education.
