A new study found that across the nation, the drop out rate among high school students is 1 out of 4, which is alarming. That’s like, what, a third or something?
Many students who are struggling academically decide to just give up. Some top universities have offered this recommendation: just let the football and basketball teams slide.
In some cases, the students dropping out are bored, but in others, they just can’t wait to get out of school and not be able to find a job.
Bureaucrats have already come up with a perfect solution to get more students to graduate across the board: Lower the standards.
Tutoring and preparatory classes are helping, but may not be enough to motivate struggling students. In a related story, principals have begun to encourage cheating.
In some major cities, like Las Vegas, graduation rates have plummeted to as low as 54.5%. It may get to a point where the only ones graduating are the students who are sleeping with their teachers.
Actually, that would slightly increase the numbers.
