Graduation rates have improved over the past few years and the national average rose above 80 percent for the first time in 2012
the fact that only 4 OUT OF 5 KIDS ARE GRADUATING IS KIND OF CRAZY!!! KIDS AREN'T REALIZING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IS SUUUUUUPER IMPORTANT! IF YOU DON'T GRADUATE YOUR'E GONNA GET A BAD JOB!!!!
In Texas, where the graduation rate of low-income students is relatively high at 85 percent
85%...... relatively high........ ouch
That number held steady for the graduating class of 2013, which saw an 81 percent graduation rate, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
does that mean that now even less than 4/5 people are graduating? that could be an issue.
What is the Value of a High School Diploma?
It's important. Without one you can't get a good job.
Should Teachers Carry Weapons?
No, teachers should not carry weapons. We already have security guards for things like that. Lets say there is an emergency. chances are that the teacher will be hesitant to shoot!
