Zoom in on the Promblem

The problem I'm going to be discussing is the the high dropout rate within high schools. The people who are most affected by this problem are the students who are dropping out of school. Dropping out of high school can be caused by anything but some of the reasons are lack of motivation, family reasons, and failing grades. President George W. Bush created the "No Child Left Behind Act" which had many perks to try to better the education in public schools. It hasn't necessarily failed, but it really hasn't really improved much since dropout rates continue to rise. If this problem isn't fixed then important jobs in the country will decline because there will be no one qualified for the job. Someone should do something about this because the kids in high school are going to be our future leaders in different areas of the work force. If the rates continue to fall, what are those young adults going to do with the rest of their lives?
