Dropout Rates: South v.s. North
The truth of state scores.
The past attempts.
In an attempt to end dropout rates, districts all across the U.S. tried to offer online courses to kids who were thinking of dropping out. Since most kids who dropout usually have something wrong (ei. Bullying, Home life problems, Drug issues, Depression, ect.) in their life, District boards decided to offer kids an online course to take their classes and still stay in school. This utterly flopped as for most students who had these problems, staying home just made them worse.
KEYS Funding
The first steps to make this possible would be to encourage teens to say in school. Check out our Twitter to learn how we can make this possible.
Senators
Obama has tried to achieve lower dropout rates, but the Republicans have held him back. As of now, Jobs are more of an issue to some senators than the focus on education. So not it is time to take action and make our state senators realize that they need to take action to fix this issue.
