That's a rather naive stance. Have you interviewed every drop-out? Even
if you base this on reports of the reasons, how many are going to tell
the truth? Don't you think that people will rationalize in order to save
face? Do you really expect them to say "I dropped out because I got
tired of that bull****."
Certainly there are hardship cases, but you've implied that they are all
hardship cases. I OTOH doubt that even half of them fall into this category.

After presenting those undeniable facts, the teachers should then present
two questions: Do you want to be poor? And do you believe the U.S.
government can protect you if you are poor?

In spite of the negative comments of others, there is a very good point to
be made here. While some of the poor people mentioned have serious
problems beyond their control, too many are victims of their own self made
problems. A big one is lack of education because they chose to drop out of
school. Thanks for posting it.
