Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to 50%. There
are many reasons for students leaving school, which are for two thirds
of the dropouts motivation is the problem. They can’t just work hard
enough, almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes
that they could not catch up any more, many said that they were not
prepared well enough in their earlier school and for a third of them
getting a job was more important than finishing school.
High school dropouts have more problems in society and in their
future lives. They are more likely to be unemployed or live in poverty.
There is also a big difference in income if you compare high school
dropouts with graduates. According to data by the US Census
bureau Americans with a bachelor’s degree earn about $ 50,000 , those
with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $
20,000.
Many pupils do not understand the implications of dropping out of
school. They often demand better teachers, more lessons to catch up in
subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools have adopted
to this situation. They offer evening classes or allow students to come
back at a later age.
