Personally my bed warm and I wasn't keen for a mile trek to the bus at half seven in the morning in the rain and wind. So they decided to let me go before exams so I didn't ruin there school score.

There is no single reason why students drop out of high school. Respondents report different reasons: a lack of connection to the school environment; a perception that school is boring; feeling unmotivated; academic challenges; and the weight of real world events.

boredom, they are tired of taking orders from teachers/principals (if only they knew that was just the beginning of taking orders from people), don't want to study anymore. Some do it because they have to work and have no choice. for the most part it's because they are sick of school and the HW, orders, etc
