Why do kids drop out of school? [View All]

[napi21]

I've heard everyone blamed gfor this, but none of the excuses make sense to me!

I've heard the teachers, the administrators, & the lack of $$, all blamed!

I sure don't know, but if it's true that 30% of students are dorpping out of school, SOMETHING is damn wrong!

I happen to think a lot of it is the parents!

My 2 boys are grown and successful adults with their own families now, but while they were in school, I asked every day, what do you have for homework? I checked their homework every night before they went to bed. I made sure they had time to do it, and DID IT! I went to EVERY Parent Teacher conference. I also worked FULL TIME!!!!!

When I lived in SC, one of my husband's employees told him that his kid finally could quite school because he was now 16! When hubby asked him why he would let him do that, he said "He was never good at that stuff, and if he doesn't have to go to school, he can go down the street and get a job at the corner gas station and bring in some damn money!"

So you tell me, why are kids dropping out of school?????
