More LA Times Dropout Reports

The LA Times finishes off the special report with two more articles. Article one is on a program for dropouts where students work independently at home completing assignments and only see teachers a couple of hours a week.

The second one is on different educational programs that some LA schools are using.

The LA Times continues with the special report on high school drop-outs. Article one is an interview with William Schmidt, a professor at Michigan State University and just like me wants a tougher curriculum standard for all students.

Article two is on a group called the outsiders. It started out with 11 people in 2001 and only a few graduated on time in 2005. Some of them skipped alot of classes and some got kicked out of the home they were living in. A few more of the outsiders are going to get a high school degree in 2006.
