I think getting a secondary education is important if you want to be able to get a decent job.

Definitely as secondary education takes place after six years or primary education and you have to have secondary education before you can go to college or employmenet.

In the old days kids didn't usually attend secondary education. They would go work the farms instead.

This is very true, but in most countries now it is compulsory until at least 16.

I think that is a good law. Dropping out really harms kids chances of succeeding.
