    No, he said "stop teaching to the test," so he's suggesting finding a not-shit way.

    Incentive pay? Weaker tenure? Higher drop out age?

    Not sure if I'm liking this.

    The requirement is 16 now right? (High school?) Not an achieveable goal but it sounds good

    Of course not, you can drop out if you want.

    Most places don't

    No one gets out of school until they finish.

    Officers will find you. They will drag you back to class by the ear.

    Sounded like a half-formed jab at China. Should have been cut or reworked.

    Why?

    It just didn't flow correctly. If you know China is a leading cause of actual harm due to piracy it's fine but most of the audience (likely in the same room as Obama) doesn't realize that and Obama's line didn't explain it at all.

    The rest of the attack against China was fine, but the piracy bit seemed off.

    Sure. But at least in my district it wasn't technically allowed.

    Yeah. Most states in the US set the requirement at 16 - some states make it much harder to get a driver's license if you drop out before 18 though.

    I don't think we're really the right group of people to judge how lines about piracy read to the general public

    So to add to the list, Republicans have now refused to clap for:

    Fairness in economics
    Preventing an economic crisis
    Fair trade
    America being good
    Tax reform
    Immigration reform

    As someone who works at a public school with relatively high tuition, this would be really bad. The reason tuition is going up is because state funding keeps going down.

    He'd be helping them become self sufficient and thrive in a free market environment.

    The problem with this speech is he still has to go "I really wish you guys would do this"

    And the republicans have no intention of ever doing any such thing.
