The idea
About thirteen to fifteen percent of eighth- to twelfth-graders missed at least three school days a month; poor achievement, substance use and disengagement predict dropout.
In practice
Brown v. Board of Education, in nineteen fifty-four, declaring separate schooling inherently unequal.
Where people slip
Extreme permissiveness at home and low parent–school involvement also predict dropout.
