The Hispanic Dropout Mystery:
A Staggering 30 Percent Leave
School, Far More Than Blacks
or Whites. Why?

       I think a lot of students should take time out and read this because I learn something new and interesting. I ask myself why is the rate more higher than blacks, i thought blacks was the highest. These kids get caught up in today society with drug dealing, lack of home training and running the streets trying to fit in. Some parents don't even care to sit down and teach them right from wrong. Like in the reading it says, kids dressing with baggy pants, walking the halls, no one telling them what to do, and if someone does , they wont listen. Some of them feel that its pointless to be in school getting an education. Most of them have their reasons why they leave school. They're failing, bored in class, no support from family etc.. the list goes on and on. Some lack of language because they drop out. They don't know how to speak English fluently. Then poverty comes in, no money to get to school, can't afford to buy nice clothing, tough times, so they feel the need to drop out. Theres only so much the teachers and counselors can do to help. Kids have to want help in order to receive it.
