With the CUSTODIAL PARENT permission..16. Might want to have the child practice such phrases as : "Paper or plastic?" or "Would you like to super-size your order?" They will need to remember these phrases in there new career.

What is the connection between things "not going so well" at home and dropping out of school?

The compulsory education laws vary from state to state regarding drop out ages and parents are usually required to give consent for a minor to drop out. Has a custody arrangement been established grantin you and the father legal custody regarding making these kinds of decisions? Also, have you considered alternative schooling?
