Required to go to school untill sixteen?

In the United States you are required to go to school until you are sixteen.this is a good and bad policy, it is good because the 12 grade is the last grade then you can go to collage or get your own house. when you are sixteen you have the choice to drop out or stay in school. when you drop out and it is time for you to find a job you can't because you don't have the certificate proving that you completed High School and graduated you get turned down. then you lose your house and move back
