I've never heard anyone complain about mandatory middle school until now.
Like...if someone doesn't have a middle school education, they're basically going to be at the bottom of the labor pool for the rest of their lives.

Right now we have everyone except fringe dropouts going to middle school. That is, there are 2 options: middle school education or no education.
What's more interesting is if we could take people that would be successful in middle school and see if they could achieve increased success by participating in a different model.
