Good idea or will it raise the dropout rate?

Chicago mayor: No high school diploma without acceptance letter

What a moron. Im doing quite well with nothing more than a diploma. Sure, I have various industry specific training/certs, but you can do OK with only a diploma.

This will do more harm than good, mark my words.

I'm no Rahm Emanuel fan, but did anyone actually read the article...or better yet, the actual proposal?

Yes I read the article.
It's still a stupid proposal.

Yes. I have. It's more nanny state bull****.

.
Article doesn't list mission work, traveling, or owning/running/working a business as acceptable "plans" for after graduation.

Which is all beside the point, as it is none of the state's business what my adult child does after high school.

I read it. Like most liberal ideas, I can see the "good intentions" behind it. But I disagree with the continued flooding of the market with college graduates that get degrees they can't afford and debt they can't pay off just to satisfy the dream of a mandatory 14 years of education. I think it's a good thing to get high schoolers thinking about how they're going to start their lives off once they're done with their senior years. In fact, if they were talking about classes for learning soft job skills, resume writing, interviewing, career planning, that's all stuff I could support. But to push kids into enslaving themselves to the college-industrial-complex is a crime, in my opinion.

I wasn't sure if you had seen this. I did not see you in either of the threads that mentioned it.

The Daily Beast began publishing on October 6, 2008, The Beast's founding editor was Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk Magazine. Brown stepped down as editor in September 2013. John Avlon, an American journalist and political commentator as well as a CNN contributor, is the site's editor in chief.

Yep, that's where I'd go for unbiased reporting

From the cited Daily Beast article:

The fighting between Kushner and Bannon has been “nonstop” in recent weeks, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. It’s been an “open secret” that Bannon and Kushner often clash “face-to-face,” according to senior officials.

Another anonymous hatchet job furthering the left's narrative. Yawn

I read it.
no one is saying it's bad to encourage students to have a plan after graduation! But to withhold the diploma they have already earned? How does that make sense?
Also, where does he get the statistic claiming 65% of the students have been accepted to a college? Sounds ridiculous to me.

But, but, but, he wants to make college "free", as if there is such a thing!?
