I was looking for a new PLN that I havnt already read and added my comment to. I found one in Web-blogged that was very "eye opening" as I said it in my comment. This is how i responded to Mr. Richardson's post called “Clueless in America”
Mr. Richardson,
I was shocked after reading how many students drop out of school. “An American kid drops out of school every 6 seconds”, that is what I read on your post and that really concerned me. For me school is mandatory and I can never imagine dropping out. First of all if I did drop out I would be bored to tears and secondly I would probably lose all my friends because no one wants to be friends with a drop out kid. Most good jobs won’t take you if you don’t have a high school diploma. I understand that it is the kid’s choice to stay in school but if they want a job they should probably finish high school even if they don’t have that good of grades. Education is key in life now a days and you wont get very far with out. This post really opened my eyes to how privileged I am to having parents that won’t let me drop out and also I don’t want to become any statistic on the drop outs in America.
