Thoughts on Drop Out Rates

Randy Turner, blogger and educator from Joplin, MO recently posted an article about drop out rates and NCLB. The catalyst for the post was an article in the NY Times. States Turner:

"The public education system has to take its share of the responsibility in creating dropouts, but as long as shortsighted politicians continue taking the easy way out and laying all of the blame at the schoolhouse door, the steps will never be taken that could help solve this problem."
