This is a great way to raise those graduation rates. It will cost a zillion dollars. It will lower the bar for all students. It will make schools less safe.
Overall, it will decrease learning, but hey - everyone knows that's not the real purpose of school.

Thank you president Obama. I look forward to working with more kids with violent criminal histories.

Since at least 2002, a bill to make students stay in school until they turn 18 has been introduced in every session of the state Legislature, but it never went very far before dying with a thousand other bills.
Today, the measure (A1411) was revived, clearing the Assembly Education Committee by a party-line vote of 6-2. And it appears to be on a roll , as its also scheduled for a Senate Education Committee hearing Monday.
All it took was for the president to call on states to pass it in his State of the Union address last week.
