I think the Italians got their school system right. School is compulsory until 8th grade. After that, high school is by choice, the students have to test to get in to the better schools, and by the time they graduate their degree is the equivalent of our AA degree. It keeps the violent kids, trouble makers, etc... out of the classroom so as to let those who want to learn do what they need to. Those who drop out or don't place either go into the work force or see if family will support them. Most times, the fathers will make the boys go to work with them (especially if they have their own business) and the girls work with mom either at a job or doing domestic things around the house.
