Time traveling in San Antonio

The thought of kids dropping out of school makes for a sad story, but the argument must be made: If they have the power to travel into the future, then what do they need to be in school for anyway?

SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio and Edgewood school districts are teaming up to keep eighth-graders in school.

District officials said too many older middle school students are dropping out of high school and [are] then challenged with finding a decent-paying job.

(from KSAT-12)

"... too many older middle school students are dropping out of high school ..."

Well, they can't drop out of high school until they get there first. Right? So then they wouldn't be middle school students, would they? The only explanation is that they must be middle school students who have powers that allow them to travel into the future and be high school students simultaneously. Which would be a pretty awesome superpower to have (though not quite as cool as the ability to stick to walls or to use metal claws that extrude from your hands), and anyone with abilities like that should probably be given a pass on their grades. Shouldn't they?

In any case, those kids better get back into school. Or else the mayor is going to be knocking on their doors.
