Drop Out Rates Especially Damaging to Math Skills

English to Spanish translation
When children leave school, find it difficult to get a job. After all, who wants to hire someone who has dropped out of school? Even if you can speak well and are very smart, not being able to read well, write or can cause problems. Worst of all, they do not have basic math skills required in almost all professions. Even if they get a job doing menial jobs that still need math skills.

Not just for the workplace, but also to balance your checkbook, understand the loan payments for a car or a house, and even cooking and calculate fractions by reading the recipes. Even if children leave school, most likely read a little, and will learn over time with practice. And there are always adult literacy classes. But math skills are very important, and is not as easy for them to get those skills once they dropout.

There was an interesting article in our local paper, The Desert Sun last month entitled "high school dropout rates in decline - forces of economic necessity for many who do return to school" by Michelle Mitchell. The article discusses how some deserters are realizing that giving high school was a horrible idea, and therefore re-enter to finish school and graduate. Personally, I'm glad to see this because I know that once students leave, the chances of returning are not good.

Good to see that dropout rates are lower than before, but that does not yet good enough. Perhaps your town has the same challenges we do here, and maybe your relationship in the numbers also are turning. There seems to be a major problem, and we have to solve these problems. The reason I decided to write this article the other day I was at Starbucks to talk to a professor of mathematics at the local high school, which was also professor of physics.

He was trying to reason with one of his students stay in school, but the student was having problems because they do not speak English very well, and he was fighting in all other classes. There were less than adequate math skills, and was in math class recovery, and the teacher was quite worried. As a citizen of a taxpayer I am concerned too, and I wonder how it will survive without those skills in the future.

Will the high school dropout become a burden to society and be unemployed by the government? In fact I hope to please consider all this and think about it.
