High School Dropouts in America

Over a million of the students who enter ninth grade each fall fail to graduate with their peers four years later. In fact, about seven thousand students drop out every school day. Perhaps this statistic was acceptable fifty years ago, but the era in which a high school dropout could earn a living wage has ended in the United States. Dropouts significantly diminish their chances to secure a good job and a promising future. Moreover, not only do the individuals themselves suffer, but each class of dropouts is responsible for substantial financial and social costs to the communities, states, and country in which they live.

Although graduation rates are a fundamental indicator of how schools are ultimately performing, only recently have those rates been rigorously scrutinized and the extent of the crisis in America's high school been revealed. For decades, schools and districts published misleading or inaccurate graduation rates, and as a result, the American public knew little of the scope and gravity of the problems faced by far too many of the nation's high schools. Reputable, independent research has exposed alarmingly low graduation rates that were previously hidden behind inaccurate calculations and inadequate data..................

JANICE I. - Tutor in Huntsville, AL 35810

ONE-ON-ONE AFFORDABLE TUTORING

 


About MeI have more than 35 years of tutoring experience, volunteer and paid. I have tutored students of all ages, kindergarten through college. I enjoy tutoring and helping students understand the materials presented. Once I learn the likes of the student I can make the materials relate to them. They enjoy the sessions better once they understand the reason why it is important to know the information and how it can be used later in their lives. I have also presented many workshops to help students understand better studying skills and prepare for standardized tests. The subjects I have tutored are basic math, algebra I, algebra II, trigonometry, geometry, calculus I/II/III; English, grammar, spelling, language arts, word parts, vocabulary building; accounting introduction, financial, managerial; economics, both micro and macro; test taking strategies; ACT, SAT I, SAT 10, GED, GMAT, GRE; computer keyboarding, applications, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project; history, geography; and science, including, physics, biology, life and Earth, and space projects; SPSS I have experience and am certified to administer the SAT 9 & 10. I ensure each student is pretested to identify strengths to build upon and weaknesses to strengthen. I work closely with the parents to ensure their desires for their children are met.
