Additional Information
“What drives so many youths to abandon their education? [This book] looks at the reasoning behind nearly a third of American youths not graduating high school. Authors Ruby Payne and Paul Slocumb research the causes of this epidemic, trying to find the reasons why America's educational values fall so much. From social issues to problems with the school and much more, [this book] is a fascinating read with much to enlighten and educate with.”
“The subject matter is timely, addressing two factors continually linked to undesirable outcomes in school: being male and poor. The consistent organization of the chapters also allows for easy reading, and the recommendations at the end of each chapter provide parents and educators with readily available strategies they can implement with children of any age. Moreover, the appendices provide useful resources, including formulas for calculating the cost of dropping out and questionnaires for assessing available student resources, allowing for educational planning. Also described are activities for students geared toward goal-setting, planning, and identifying emotions.”
