Hmm the American renaissance.
The education figures from the government don't really tell the whole story. If it's such an excellent period in time for the USA, why do almost a third of all students in public high schools fail to graduate? African American students may well be doing better, according to the figures, but for African American and Hispanics the number who fail to graduate is almost 50%.

In today's data-happy era of accountability, testing and No Child Left Behind, here is the most astonishing statistic in the whole field of education: an increasing number of researchers are saying that nearly one out of three public high school students won't graduate, not just in Shelbyville but around the nation.

For Latinos and African-Americans, the rate approaches an alarming 50 percent. Virtually no community, small or large, rural or urban, has escaped the problem.

There is a small but hardy band of researchers who insist the dropout rates don't quite approach those levels. They point to their pet surveys that suggest a rate of only 15 percent to 20 percent.

oh time magazine.......


what a joke.


american public schools are not allowed to inquire of the citizenship of the kids that try to enrol.

Therefore, every Jose, Ricardo and Ignacio, as well as every Ji Hyun, Myung Hi, and Chul Won.....who are visiting their Uncle or Aunt in LA or Chicago has every right to show up at school, demanding a taxpayer funded education.

And when they return to South Korea, Mexico, or take a job somewhere, they are classified as "dropping out"......
