My opinion Maria Elena Salinas: New dropout numbers foreshadow grim future

Tagged:

“Many Americans reacted with shock and awe to a recent report stating that more than 1.2 million young people in the United States do not graduate from high school annually. But not me. Not only did it not surprise me, but I was glad to see it.

Not that I’m insensitive to the problem or take pleasure in the misfortune of others. Not at all. But I’ve been aware of the seriousness of the issue for many years, and I’m hoping this kind of alarming information will shake things up so something finally will get done about it.

Some of the findings are truly unsettling. Every 26 minutes, a youth in our country will drop out of high school.”*
