Education

Some children don't really realize the opportunities they have. I am sick and fed up of children taking advantage of education. Some kids go to school and don't even notice that what they have is a blessing. Everyday I go to school and all I can see are kids in the hallways playing around, chatting and not getting their work done. And, when the bells would ring and I would have to move to my next class all I can smell in the hallways are weed. Many children don't notice that somewhere across the country there is some one dying to take their spot and will actually do their best to learn. It is stupid to throw away you dreams and the opportunity to succeed. Every year, of every day and of every minute kids are dropping out of high schools.The report states that only 52 percent of public high school students in these cities graduate after four years, while the national average is 70 percent. Some 1.2 million public high school students drop out every year, according to researchers.The report finds that, overall, 17 of the public school systems in 50 major cities have graduation rates of 50 percent or lower, and the average graduation rate of all 50 systems is 58 percent. The findings are based on federal Department of Education statistics for the 2003-2004 school year. Many people want to be successful and have the money, the cars, the clothes, everything. But, some people need to understand in order to make paper($) you must have paper(diploma). Education is important.
