Articles in magazines and newspapers and special reports on radio and television reflect the concern of many Americans about the increasing drop-out rate in our junior and senior high schools. Coupled with this fact is the warning that soon we will no longer have a work force to fill the many jobs that require properly educated personnel. The high student drop-out rate is not a recent development. Ten years ago, many urban schools were reporting drop-out rates between 35 and 50%. Some administrators maintain that drop-outs remain the single greatest problem in their schools.
雜志和報紙的文章以及廣播、電視的相關(guān)報道反映了許多美國人對于越來越高的高中失學(xué)率的擔(dān)心。加上這一事實警示了不久的將來我們將不能提供足夠的勞動力以滿足那些要求員工受過教育的崗位。高輟學(xué)率不是新發(fā)展起來的問題。十年前，許多市內(nèi)的學(xué)校管理者稱他們的輟學(xué)率在35-55%之間。一些管理者稱，學(xué)生的流失仍然是他們學(xué)習(xí)面對的最大問題。 ——譯文來自: vivian董
