First, it is very unclear exactly who is a "dropout" by the State standard. If you can't discretely identify the problem, it is impossible to discretely identify the solution.
Second, failure is not a four-letter word. Many people, including students, need an opportunity to "fail" to be able to recognize what they need to do to "succeed".
Third, do we want the STATE making all our decisions? Do they know better than we do as parents what is best for our students?
Likely we are missing the point.
