I dislike them not getting an education but neither do I want them to spend all their time in school. Maybe the teachers should give harder daily lessons. I don't know the answer.

Young people need balance in their lives, they should not spend every waking moment at school. They should have time to pursue their interests, enjoy their family and put something back into society. They have to learn to be independent and self motivated. School should be for learning not a means of containment to prevent social problems. I have two grown up children now at university and one teenager still at school. They have grown into balanced, thoughtful and responsible members of society.
