I knew it was bad, I didn’t think it was this bad:
It’s a nickname no principal could be proud of: “Dropout Factory,” a high school where no more than 60 percent of the students who start as freshmen make it to their senior year. That dubious distinction applies to more than one in 10 high schools across America.
They are factories for future DemokRat voters!
Something like that Robert…this study is frightening! I looked at my area, and I knew one of the school systems was bad, but I think every high school in the district is on the list:o
And to think the NEA, your state teachers’ union, and the Democrats are trying to hide this information from the public. They fight tooth and nail against the legitimacy of home schooling and school vouchers.
As I look through the list, one of the schools in my area is the one I graduated from.
I don’t remember that may people dropping out of school when I was there.
It’s time to face facts here. Part of a parents responsibility is to assure that their child gets an education. Part of that responsibility is to assure that the child is there, turning in homework, getting help when needed. Signing the kid up for a free lunch and calling it an education doesn’t cut it!
f22- I know that the school system I attended has not dropped the high standards that I walked into in the late 60′s. From the minute class started for 1st graders, it was instilled in us that we will be preparing to go onto college. We were told that there is not going to be a future for those without an education. It looks like the educators were correct.
That’s okay, we can fix the “problem.” All we need is just a little bit more money “For The Children…”
