High School Dropouts

   Every mother or father want their child to graduate from high school and go on doing bigger and better things with their futures. But nowadays, more and more families are dealing with there child dropping out of high school. Nearly a third of all high school students in the United States are dropping out and it is becoming a bigger problem. With no signs of these rates slowing down, something needs to be done in order to keep these kids in school.
   The reasons for why these kids are dropping out go on and on but a couple to mention are lack of motivation, situations outside of school, and the academic difficulties the students have while in school. On the positive side, each of those reason have one or more possible solutions. I feel the best solution for this problem is to have teachers shy away on high stakes testing and more time making school more enjoyable for the kids. But at the same time, teachers and administrators need to incorporate active and 21st century into every classroom in the United States.
