Alarming high school dropout rate in America

Most of the typical students in America have stopped going to school and on their way to becoming dropout.Both the teachers and the students seem to be very much careless about this matter.

In America, Philadelphia is the country's sixth largest school district, about one of every three students fails to graduate -- about the national average.According to CBS news report "Of the 4 million students who enter high school every year, one million of them will drop out before graduation. That's 7,000 every school day -- one dropout every 26 seconds"

many of the Americans think that high school is compared with prison and there is no reason to their children there.

The dropout problem is even worse in big cities. Almost half of all students in the country's 50 largest school districts fail to get a high school Degree. Thirty years ago the United States led the world in high school graduation. Today we rank 18th among industrial nations. Besides the intrinsic value of education itself, when Americans lack an education is a shocking news for us all.

Dropouts cost taxpayers more than $8 billion annually in public assistance programs like food stamps. High school dropouts earn about $10 thousand less a year than workers with diplomas. That's $300 billion in lost earnings every year. They're more likely to be unemployed: 15 percent are out of work versus a national average of 9.4 percent. They also are more likely to be incarcerated. Almost 60 percent of federal inmates are high school drop outs.

Piscal has found a solution. The former English teacher at the most rigorous private school in Los Angeles opened View Park Prep 15 years ago, bringing the private school's curriculum to one of south L.A.'s toughest neighborhoods."What's best for the rich kids is best for all kids," he said.

At the local public schools, more than 50 percent of students drop out. Not at View Park. These are the same kids as in the public schools - they're admitted by lottery. But here everything is geared toward getting to and succeeding in college.

The curriculum is focused on building college-level study habits and writing skills. Starting in 6th grade, analytical writing is required in every course, even math and science. The average class size is 18, roughly half the size of public schools. Teachers are available after hours for any student needing help.

but the recent report found that the students of America are more interested to earn money rather than going to high schools.they involved money earning activity and leaving the highschools.It may be a great threat to the nation's future.
