At my old high school there is an extremelly high percentage of Juniors and Sophomores who currently have one or more F.
Hardly any of my friends graduated last year, because they all dropped out.

WE NEED THE YOUTH TO STAY IN SCHOOL!

We are the future.
Someone needs to show these kids that they can make it, and life will be much more difficult without that high school diploma.

America’s high school graduation rate ranks 19th in the world. (Forty years ago, we were number one.)

This information is very scary, considering how competitive the job market is. This means our youth or working age adults will face tough competition from their foreign educated counterparts.
