Unless a concerted effort is ι
Ttade by home, nchool. and «
community to solve the truclal .
problems of dropouts, the lus.*
will continue. In studying
Iropout» in the William«
Township Schtol District, the <
ollowing problems were noted
is recurring:
1. Children who fail one or
nore grades in the elementary
>r high school are among
hose who most often drop out j
if school. They most frequent
y fail in the elementary school
ind dropout in the ninth grad·'.
2. Children who attend sev
eral schools are more likely to
Irop out of school than thofcc
vho are allowed to attend the
ame school. Thus, the studetit
vho moves from one school
listrict to another does not de«
•elop a sense of belonging.
3. Students who do not bc
οηκ to school clubs or take
>art in school affairs usually
Irop out of school.
4. Students who live in com·
nullifies or sections of th*r
chool district where a higi |
chool diploma is not valued
ire likely to drop out of school.
5. Children of parents who
lo not place emphasis on edu·
ation are potential dropout».
6. Younger children of par
ents who permitted the older
children to dropout of school
ure almost always dropouts.
7. Girls who are allowed to
go steady with older hoys are
potential dropouts.
8 Students with poof at
tendance records are lik«j!y to
become dropouts.
9. Children who are poorly
prepared for the grade they
are in usually become drop
outs.
Students with three or four
of these problems may be con
sidered possible dropouts at
the age of 16. Parents and
school personnel should use
these problems as danger sign
als in identifying potential
dropouts. Through counseling
from parents and teachers they
might be saved from the need
