You must be talking about the kids who don't want to be in school which there are quite a few of. The goverment keeps lowering the standards for the poor performers to keep them in high school. Trouble is, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Those people drop out and don't continue to higher education because of motivation problems, they don't do their homework, which is sad because without school there isn't much of a future for them.
High school is pretty relaxed, they take their time going through the curriculum, unlike college where they cover the same amount of material in a single semester that a high school takes nearly a full year (my college has 3 semesters a year!). High school will give you 3-4 weeks or more to write an essay, college will give you until next class to write it (which is 1 week) along with some more homework for the same class. High school tends to give 20 minutes to an hour a week of homework per class, college gives 3-6hrs of homework a week per class, although there are some classes that take way more than 6hrs a week and most take more towards the 6hrs.
The goverment is very concerned about the problem nationwide of kids who refuse to participate in school. If they don't do the homework, don't show up most of the time, and just flat out don't want to be in school, how can they learn math or anything else? College quickly weeds out the unmotivated, they get flunked on the first semester at my school.
Sorry for comparing high school to college so much, but I just wanted to make the comparison so that others could get a handle on just how relaxed the high school system is and kids are still flunking. Video games is more fun than homework you know, or text messaging, or computer... you name it.
