Is this an Impossible Dream?
The Impossible Dream
To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
Update -
I have DISCOVERED a missing link in the high school drop out crisis. This missing link is a proven and viable solution in changing the outcome of the HSDO abyss as well as strengthening the economic community!
But, is this an impossible dream? A car has 4 tires. If you lose one, is it a crisis?
Before I explain, let's build a common understanding of operational definitions.
What is "Opportunity Youth Education?"
What does the High School graduation rate mean?
How do we define the drop out rate?
Who/What are "opportunity youth?"
What is a K-12 education?
Who operates schools/education?
What is Adult Education and who operates it?
What is Alternative Education?
In the state of Michigan, how many credits does a student need to graduate?
A student needs 18 core credits plus electives.
How many credits can a student feasibly earn in one year?
What is the "point of no return" in a high school career?
Does this mean the student cannot graduate on time?
Why do students drop out of high school?
What are the average stats of an average graduate in an alternative education program?
How many students come back as a 5th year senior?
What is the solution?
What is one of the missing links in the HSOP crisis?
The missing link is the seamless transition from high school to adult education once a student is past the point of no return.
Let's look at Student X as an example. He is a 17 year old senior who has 10 credits. He has earned 2.5 credits his junior year. If it takes 20 credits to graduate, how many years will it take Student X to earn the remaining 10 credits as this pace?
I say at this pace because the modus operandi is all the facts we know. There is no Superman or superpower in this equation.
How old will Student X be when he is finally able to graduate with 20 credits? Do you think Student X will stay in school that long?
HSDO = High School Drop Out
