IMD II

Week 12 Word of the Day

Open this --MUST Read 

Dropouts are more than eight times as likely to be in jail or prison as those with at least a high school diploma.

Over the course of his or her lifetime, a single high school dropout costs the nation approximately
$260,000 in lost earnings.
• Dropouts earn $9,200 less per year than high school graduates and more than $1 million less over a lifetime than college graduates.10

• The government would reap $45 billion in extra tax revenues and reduced costs in public health, crime, and welfare payments if the number of high school dropouts among 20-year olds in the U.S. today, which numbers more than 700,000 individuals, were cut in half.

Seventy-one percent of teens know someone who has dropped out of high school. When asked what those dropouts were doing now, 46% said they were unemployed; 53% said raising a child; 39% said working in a low-paying job; 29% said involved in a gang; and only 13% said the dropouts they knew were in a successful career.
