No college or job offer in Chicago planned for after high school? No diploma

(CNN)A product of Chicago's South Side, DeAvion Gillarm will be the first in his family to attend college. "I always had a plan," said Gillarm, a Morgan Park High School graduate headed to Lincoln College next month. "You're not going to be successful without a plan." Under a controversial new requirement, starting in 2020, students hoping to graduate from a public high school in Chicago must provide evidence they, too, have a plan for the future: either acceptance to college or a gap-year program, a trade apprenticeship, military enlistment or a job offer.

Rahm Emmanuel of all people is supporting this. Is this a trick?

I'm sure there's plenty of people that don't care about graduating.

job offer.
Does this include McDonald's and WalMart?

It should. That is a decent job and is better than collecting a government check. If they work hard, they can advance at either place also.

Heard this on the radio the other day, frick them. This just discourages people from getting the most basic of basics which is a hs diploma.

Friend of mine just retired from Walmart and I still have years to go. She started in high school, worked in college and became a pharmacist. I believe she had 7 years towards her retirement by the time she graduated.

It's sad that you have to incentivize people to have a plan post high school. It's honestly not a requirement anybody should struggle to meet.

This could be the weirdest perspective that I could imagine. If you cannot put in the effort to make a plan for your future beyond 18 years old, then what good would a HS diploma do anyway?
How low of a bar has been set in this country?

Create more bureaucracy to enforce a requirement that creates a false sense of achievement without actually creating any benefit?
Yup, sounds like a typical Democratic response to a real problem.

Can we make a l high school diploma necessary for government assistance? This could work then.
