Can I Quit School?
Many high school students wonder if they can quit school. From an educational point of view, there is no substitute for finishing high school. However, sometimes that is not an option. Sometimes life gets in the way and a teenager has to go to work to help support his or her family or a teenager has to care for a sick relative or a new baby. Whatever the reason, many states that have compulsory education laws allow students to drop out of school at a certain age.
The age at which students can legally drop out of school varies from state to state. Some states require a guidance counselor to provide you with information about your decision when you drop out. If you are considering dropping out of school then it makes sense to speak with your guidance counselor who can give you information about the GED or adult education options.
