ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Maryland lets kids drop out of school at age 16, two years before they can in Virginia and D.C., but it looks like that's about to change.
The General Assembly looks set to pass a bill that would require kids to stay in school until they turn 18.
The bill details some exceptions, including for kids who graduate early or get a GED, are married or in the military, provide financial support for their family, or are taking classes through an alternative program.
so now the kids who contribute nothing and take up valuable space and time in the classroom can do so for 2 more years. Nice move by our state government. Throwing good money after bad.
