2,261 children drop out of high school every school day (1 of every 4 high school freshmen fails to finish high school in four years in the USA — multiply that by 180, and the annual figure astounds!) College bound students don't get there because they think they can, they work HARD at it. If we (students, parents and teachers) are all going to succeed, we have SERIOUS work to do. We ALL pay the price of illiteracy, and benefit from investing in its value. Invest wisely.
