Texas: Legal drop out age - 18

Yup. And our edukashun system is a joke. In 8th grade I took the SAT along with soon-to-be graduates as part of an advanced placement program, scored a 1360. Then took the GED for kicks and giggles, "perfect score". I then spent 4 years, with near-perfect attendance, learning absolutely nothing except how to put a condom on a banana, how bad western Earopeans are and how to roll a joint (extra-curricular, of course).

I guess that this is where my thinking came from:

Washington 8 18 Child may withdraw at 15 for work or if proficient at the 9th grade level.
