[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well over half are either in ESOL or are Hispanic https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2019/07/montgomery-co-public-schools-have-a-dropout-problem-heres-why/[/quote]

Well I guest the response to this topic says it: who cares?

I am not being sarcastic. I truly believe that if these students and/or their families do not care, others should not (yes, SHOULD not - or at least PUBLIC RESOURCES should not be used to deal with this).[/quote]

The economy cares. We have a public education system for economic reasons. It's better for the economy to have an educated workforce. [/quote]

Well, it appears that the education system isn’t working very well.  If the dropout rate is increasing and the percentage of students who are ‘proficient’ is decreasing.

So, focus on educating the kids.  Leave the social services to private organizations, like non-profits and churches.  [/quote]

No. Our job is to educate the society. We did it during the depression and we did it during WW2, when women had to work and dads were gone. There have always been social issue that schools had to deal with.

We need better job training and stop with pushing the idea everybody is going to college. Who cares if a kid goes to college if he doesn't want to... make sure he knows how to do his/her finances and provide job training.

HS does not need to be 4 years... get 2 year under the belt with the requirement to get trained and then off to work.. apprenticeships, farming, job training etc.

FFS nobody really cares about Dante's Inferno, we need to stop pretending that is "required" for an education. [/quote]
