I don't think it's the government's responsibility to "help kids focus". If a kid wants to slack off and not do anything with his/her life while in school, he/she should eventually land a job that reflects his/her efforts in school. If that means flipping burgers at the local joint, so be it. It's not like that child didn't know the consequences of not working hard in the beginning. If you don't work hard while you're young and get a lousy job, sucks for you.
