America's Dropout Crisis

We are going to be watching a couple of documentaries about the dropout crisis in America's public school. It turns out that kids start thinking about dropping out in middle school.

First Read the facts here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/education/dropout-nation/middle-school-moment/

Then: You will respond to the following questions BEFORE we watch the videos.

After we watch the movies, we'll also respond and hopefully come up with a plan for you in which you will pledge not to drop out!

Here are the pre-video questions:

1. Do you know anybody who has dropped out of school? Explain the situation as best as you can.
Yes , I know someone that has dropped out of school .They had to work and take care of there siblings that's why they dropped out of school.


2. What reasons did that person have, or what reasons have you heard that people drop out of school. Please write at least 2 reasons

3. What could schools do to make sure students don't drop out.


4. Do  you think life is different for kids who drop out compared to those that graduate? Please explain with thoughtful answers.



5. Do you think teachers should ignore kids who are in danger of dropping out and focus instead on students who really want to finish school?







6. What do you think happens to a community where half of students don't graduate?

  10. 1. my father dropped out of middle school to help his family in the fields.
    2. two reasons that he dropped out was because my family didn't have money and he had to help out to earn more money, also because my grandpa was getting sick and couldn't work on the farm no more.
    3. schools can make sure to teach every single student and give them hope to graduate.
    4. yes, because the ones who don't graduate get worse jobs that the ones who did graduate.
    5. no i think they should teach everyone so that they can give the students that don't want to graduate the privileged to graduate from high school.
    6. the community gets a bad reputation than other communities. IRINEO SANCHEZ

  22. 1. My Dad had dropped out to start working
    2. He dropped out because the economy was so hard and because my mom and dad had me in that age in my mom's stomach.
    3. support them and motivate them
    4. IT is different because you have a more harder life of working
    5. i think no because they are in danger of not having a successful life.
    6. Then that half starts to increase more and then next thing you know 75% don't graduate.

    3. They can make all the the homework really easy, or just make the class work a lot easier.

    4. Yes because if they have kids and there kids ask them if they can help him with the homework and they will say that they do not know how to solve it.

    5. No because the kids education is priceless and they get only only one chance to finish middle school and elemartry.

    2. I have heard that people think that it is too hard and too long.
    3. They can make sure that the students understand the work that is given.
    4. I think that people that drop out have a harder life because they end up with bad jobs because they do not have enough education.
    5. Teachers should try to help everyone so that no one will think about dropping out.
    6. They can end up with a lot of violence or they will have many good jobs that are vacant.

  27. 1. My Cousin dropped Out At Middle School Because he didnt feel like going to school. He now Doesnt live cool he is Really Crazy and Has not Many Manners.

    2. He Dropped Out Because he didnt feel like going to school. He also Dropped
    Out Because He Was really lazy and didnt care.

    3. They Could make classes Fun and Not Just so boring and serious the whole time.
    They can Also add subjects that they enjoy and like.

    4. I think it is Different because they get First Choice in anything if they graduate. Its Also Different because they will get more money and a better life.

    5. I think they should focus on them because if they drop out the kids wont get a good life and the state also looses money.


    6. If half a community dont graduate it would be really "Ghetto" because people wont have good jobs and it would be crazy and unorganized.

  29. 1. I do not know nobody that has dropped out.
    2. People drop out because they don't have money. They also drop out because they don't like school and they think it's hard or boring.
    3. I think schools should help them more and make a special program and put people that want to drop out in the program.
    4. Yea I think life is different because they don't get opportunities that other people that graduate get.
    5. I think yes and no. Yes so the kids that want to drop out get refocused and try harder. No because if you help them try to focus on school and they don't want to and they drop out,you'll just waste your time.
    6. I think the community won't be good anymore cause everybody will drop out.

  44. 1. My brother dropped out of school when he was in 11th grade.
    2. I don't know why he dropped out. I think it was just stupid of him.
    3. Schools can make sure that students with lower scores can get help, and they can support them.
    4.It is different to those that did graduate and the ones that didn't because the ones that graduated have an easier life than the ones that didn't because they had to work hard.
    5.No, because they are not going to succeed in life.
    6. I think that a community with people that don't graduate, will be a little dangerous because then people will rob and kill to survive.

  45. 1. Yes I know someone who dropped out

    3. They can make sure to help them out when they need help, or give the student tutoring.
    4.I think yes because the students who graduate can get a better job than the ones who dropped out because they have more knowledge.
    5.I think no because the other students need more help than the ones who are doing great in school.

    2.worked at a young age in the house and outside the house, didn't have enough money to pay to stay at schoolhouse.
    3.give them extra support or even give that person a scholarship to help them stay in school without no problem.
    4.yes they are different than the others because they just stay home or at the streets not learning good things like things that can help them later in life.
    5.i think that there should be an extra teacher to help that specific person/s so the other teachers could help those kids that want to graduate.
    6.the community can become dangerous or the kids can be doing drugs or others can be going to the library to study and try to go on for a better future .

  51. 1.YES,I know someone who dropped out of school because they couldn't handle authority.
    2.they would say their teachers didn't like them or they were being bullied.
    3. if a child doesn't like someone they should have a meeting to clarify things and some one should be punished
    4.they probably don't give up like other students or strive for more or do better in school.
    5.yes and no if a child does really want to be in school but doesn't feel smart enough they should try with them but if they don't want to be in school then let them be.
    6.there are a whole lot of HOBO'S or unemployed people.

  54. 1.They had to work and take care of there siblings thats why they dropped out of school.
    2.They should include the student advice of what they want to include in the school so they will have a better way of them wanting to learn.
    3.It is dieffrent because the people who actually get to be somebody in this world they have a better chance of suceeding.
    4.They teachers should especially focus on the those kids are planning of dropping out and the tacherd should give them advice of what the consequences can be .
    5.The community will be filled of enployment and there would be a lot of people that don't have a way on surving because they don't have no jobs.

  55. 1.My grandma dropped out of school
    2.My grandma had to take care of the home and they said that only men should go to school and the women should take care of the home
    3.When they see that they look like they are confused they should give them extra help. If they try to drop out they should have a meeting with their parents.
    4.Yes, because the students who drop out might have a harder time earning money and the ones that graduated might have good jobs and won`t have a hard time earning money.
    5.Teachers shouldn`t ignore them because if kids aren`t doing good in school it`s probably beacuse they don`t understand what they are learning so they should give them extra help and leave alone the kids that catch up to the leaerning quicker.
    6.Half of the people would have low paid jobs and the others would live a good life.

  56. 1.my dad didn't finish school because he had to start working.
    2. The reason why he stopped was to support his family and a one reason other people drop out is because school might be too hard for them.
    3.They can tutor the kids that need it.
    4.It' different because the kids that stay at school works hard and has a better education while the kids that drop out loose their education and might not have a good job.
    5.Teacher's shouldn't let the kids just drop out and just pay attention to the kids that want to learn because the kids might think it's okay to just drop out.The teachers should help them all.
    6.I think in that community must be either kind of bad or poor.

  64. 1. I don't know anybody that dropped out of school.
    2. I don't know anybody who dropped out of school.
    3. Schools need to support that student and encourage them to learn.
    4. Those that drop out of school don't have the same knowledge as the ones that graduated.
    5. The teachers should try and help those students that are in danger of dropping out.
    6. I think that the ones that don't graduate don't have a not very good job.

  65. No.
    Getting pregnant young.
    Taking their baby to school. or having their parents take care of it.
    Yes, because its harder to get a good job that gives you a lot of music.
    No because everyone needs to be encouraged.
    Our community would be bad in the future bc everyone would be too ignorant.

  67. 1.My Cousin Dropped Out Of High School At The Age Of 14
    2.I Guess Because They Don't Really Like School & Don't Care About Their Feature. Maybe Also Because Parents Need Them More In The House.
    3.They Try To Support Them Telling Them What Are The Consequences If They Drop Out. They Try To Change Their Minds.
    4.Yes Because The Ones That Graduate Have A Better Life With More Money & They Don't Have To Worry A Lot About Money. The Ones That Don't Graduate Have A Poor Life & They Always Have To Worry About Money And Where To Live.
    5.I Guess They Should Mind About The Other Kids That Don't Wanna Drop Out Of School Because Even If They Try To Help The Kids That Wanna Drop Out Of School The Kids Wont Do Anything To Help Themselves.
    6.I Think The Community Would Have A Bad Reputation.

  70. If people stop going to school and don't go on to college the schools will loose money and it would really effect your life later on.I dont know anybody who stoped going to school so i dont no how they would live their life.

  71. 1. No, I don't know anyone who has dropped out of school
    2. I hear people dropped out of school because they just thought it was boring and a waste of time and thought they had something better to do.
    3. Schools should probably try encouraging the students and try making what they're learning more easier.
    4. Yes, I think life is different for people or actually graduated because they were able to feel good and they were able to go to go to a good college and get a good job.
    5. I think they should probably focus on both of them because while the teachers are trying to make the kids not drop out the others that actually might feel like they aren't getting the attention they need and might want to drop out theirselves.
    6. I think that their community isn't that great because most of the drops out probably won't know alot.

  77. 1)I don't know anyone who dropped out of school.
    2)I Maybe because they got bullied or had to start working.
    3)Have support groups to help kids that want to drop out.
    4)Yes because they don't know as much and might not gain as much money.
    5)NO, They should support the ones who want to drop out so that they change their mind.
    6)The community want have people who work for a variety of jobs and everyone would have almost the same job.

    3.the schools will get more money for having more kids at there school

    Teachers should talk to studendts and their parents to find a solution to the problem of why the want to drop out.These students should get mor support by making a plan of how to help them and their families if they are dealing with money problems.Teachers shuold be aware if one of there students is in danger of dropping out they should ask to see whats going on and help them get that idea out of their head if they problems as reasons
