The Arizona State University Out With New Research…
on a on why high school students drop out. The link says that even by the eighth grade level the students that are more likely to dropout of school have racked up more days missed from school than students who will not drop out.
HMMM I guess this means that in the educational system we are going to have to do more preventative measures at the early grade levels. Have more phone calls and conversations by teachers to parents of kids missing a bunch of days to school.
