The Dropout Crisis

Crisis of dropout In the rural area in the suburbs of Chicago, 150 students marched at the graduation ceremony. This is far from the 300 students who entered the freshman 4 years ago. This is not a city center school, but it reminds us of the crisis in this country. The problem of dropping out of high school is everywhere. Speakers of the graduation ceremony talked about the wishes of the graduation ceremony and their main dreams. Nobody noticed mention of the dark future of colleagues who chose to drop out of school before receiving a diploma.

"America's dropout crisis" is not a nationwide dropout rate. The crisis is the existence of a dropout factory: few schools where most students drop out of school. However, the adverse effects of these schools are decreasing. The dropout factory has been improving year by year, and the dropout rate of the lowest income quartile is rising sharply.

In 2010, President Obama stated that a high school dropout is "an unacceptable or non-negligible problem", and in order to "improve the low-performance school" to "end the crisis of the dropout in the US" 35 I promised 100 million dollars. However, the US dropout rate has declined steadily over the past 40 years and continues to decline - there are few signs of a state crisis. Today, less than 1 out of 14 students dropped out. Low-income students contribute most to high school dropout rates, and these low-income dropouts are concentrated in a few schools known as "dropout factories". The real crisis raised by the president arises from the gap between these dropout factories and the dropout rate of low-income and high-income students.

I will tell you the impact of falling crisis on the local community. The general public does not understand the impact of falling crisis. They believe that this is a personal matter and not a community problem. Our challenge is to make the whole society clarify the scope of the crisis, and how will you suffer as a society if we do not solve this problem. We will communicate this information as frequently as possible and we will not listen to anyone. We are trying to develop a media strategy, but we do not have the resources to do this.
