Apparently a significant number of young adults do not value educational opportunities that are available to them after they graduate from high school.

Students can’t learn if they’re not in school. Teachers can’t teach if they’re not in school. The difference is that substitutes can fill in for teachers, but are too many teachers taking too many days off from their jobs?
