No Pass No Drive In the U.S. there is a twenty five percent high school dropout rate. In over 27 states there is some law that revokes a student's driver's license if they are absent to much or are failing to many classes. In certain counties in Kentucky this law lowered the dropout rate when this law was in place. We should use this law to lower the high school dropout rate in California and help motivate students to get to class and do there best. One reason we should use this law is so…
