So drop out rate is an issue. Symptom of something. What is the drop out rate history over the last 50 years? Relationship to family income, parental education? Family displacement, movement? Is the root cause something that happens in the classroom?
D we know if Catholica schools have better performance? If they do, why? My children go to a Catholic college prep high school. Most of the students have high self esteem, are very education driven, very smart and come from deeply involved and usually highly educated parents. None of this comes from the classroom.
What exactly has been done by the union at the expense of new teachers and students?
You need to understand that I taught 3 years of math and science and saw all sorts of kids, very smart to very dumb and all sorts of parents, from very involved to those who couldn't give a damn. You can guess which parents tended to have kids with problems in school.
