It's gotta be a really small number.

please note: this is mostly personal experience and opionion \n\nMany kids drop out (believe it or not) because they are not chalanged academically. It is easy to find high schoolers that are doing poorly in school because they have no intrest in doing the work. Some are duel exceptionality (both gifted and learning disabled) and because of this are only incouraged in their disability. Also you must have the grades to be moved to a higher grade level according to most public schools any test score doesn't matter. Allow not only tests but also teachers to list a student for testing to be moved up in grades. Encourage individual curriculum or unusual class scedules according to need.Homeschool, corespondace, school-to-work programs are all helpful when a tradidtional public education system fails.

When you consider how many fail, you shouldn't even need to ask that question... Success don't just happen you have to prevent failure. You have to know why this guy made it and that guy didn't.

I don't think we're holding our kids to high enough standards. I think kids are getting passed when they really don't deserve it. Just for example, look at some of the spelling and grammar on Yahoo Answers. How did some of these people pass in school?

Harvard, Yale and Princeton rejected 91% of applicants, Stanford and Columbia 89%, Brown 86%, Dartmouth 85%, Penn 82%. MIT, Amherst, Williams and Swarthmore all rejected 80% or more of their applicants. Among the top state schools, Berkeley rejected 76%, and UCLA 73% of applicants.\n\nHope this helps! Just reverse the numbers.

I don't think anybody learns anything in high school anymore. It's not really there to educate nowadays; it's just a system set in place to keep teenage kids from wandering the streets during the day - the government's way to try to cut down on vandalism and crime.

About 15-30% of all high schools have hiv or some type of std some students know it & some are walking around with one undetected

The problem I have encountered in my kids high school is a lack of content in classes that are not Honors or AP level.  The coursework provides little homework and the projects are lame.  Nothing is learned.  Add content or drop the class from the school!   More kids need to be academically stretched and challenged!

Well, being a teenager myself, I would say the vast majority of us are ignorant, apathetic idiots.  But there is a number of us that show promise and really do care about their education and what's going on in the world.

it depends. the smaller the school the more clicky it will be. large high schools with big populations are easier to get through. by the way, not every single person in highschool is a jock or supermodel as depicted on t.v.

i'm not quite sure what you mean, but I guess it depends on the person. If they are hard working and really want a good grade, then a failure will motivate them not to get an F again. But if they are lazy and really don't care, I guess they would jsut be indifferent and it wouldn't really do anything because they don't study anyways. I know I'm generalzing here, but just common sense..

In the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand they use a 5 point letter system so logically it should be A, B, C, D, E , Where E would represent failure (u see where this is going) Since f is the next letter they decided to let F represent Failure instead of E.\nWhere i'm from there is are grades a b c d e and u for unclassified in College (wherea-e are passes and u is failure) but in Highschool and before we dont use letters rather we use percentages.
