Dropouts (Selena)

            Using a blank word document discuss the fallowing questions: Why do you think so many students drop out? What do you think happens to them- what are some of the effects of dropping out? What can be done to keep kids in school?

            I think many students drop out because they have to work to help out their family or most have babies and they drop out to work to give them what they need according to Thee Effects of Not Graduating High School it says “ reports form October 1998 show that 28.2 percent of employed youth found themselves to be unemployed with a year after they dropped out of high school. When compared to the students who did graduate high school.” also according to ‘people who graduate high school earn an average of $143 more per week that those who choose not to graduate.”  so out of that I think that its better for guys to stay in school so they can get a better job and earn more money to maintain their family, and mothers sometime drop out as well too because they get pregnant and they just cant assist to school. They might also drop out because they just simply don’t like school, they just don’t want to go to school they might think is a big waste of time.  So those were some of my opinions of why teens dropping out out of High School.
