Hello,

Can we say "drop out of the educational system"? Is there a better very I can use?

"Children who are bullied at school tend to drop out of the education system earlier than those who are well adjusted at school."

Thank you,

Nawee

Doesn't that sound clumsy? I would choose to say

"Children who are bullied at school tend to drop out earlier than those who are well adjusted at school."
