text: The United States youths' job is to go to school and get educated for the future. Although you can hardly call that a job, it would be better to call it a privilege a privilege. In this country the majority of citizen children do not have to go to working job like adults, their sole job do their work from their job at school. All the children have to do is learn what the teacher says and do the assignments the teacher says. Easy as pie. So when kids are barely passing on a C average there is not an excuse.
