High school dropouts……likely causes?
Teachers and other kids targeting and picking on one student…..a kid not understanding the material they’re supposed to be learning, not having enough help and giving up on an education. Getting pregnant ,being ridiculed, getting in with the wrong crowd, drinking or doing drugs,not caring anymore, being in the mindset that what they’re learning in school will be useless in real life, thinking they could be making money working instead of school.
Practical solutions……teaching them that what they’re learning will help them in real life, letting them know that math will help them balance a checkbook, or that it’ll help them make change working in a store, or that if they end up owning a business, they’ll know how to save themself from people managing their money for them….let them learn things in an interesting way…..ways that will keep their interest peaked. Teach teachers not to judge kids and tell them they’ll be flipping burgers. Teach the kids not to give one kid problems during their whole time in school.
I think it all melts down to the early years….the beginning years……we need teachers that enjoy teaching, that want to teach…that want more out of their careers than a summer off.
