The official school drop-out figure in the US in recent years has
been 25 per cent of the cohort. Estimates from large cities are
often double these rates, and in some areas 60 per cent or worse.
This text focuses on this problem in US schools, but from an
unusual perspective. It is a study gained from in-depth interviews
of 100 "stop-outs" - that is, those who dropped out but then
decided to return to school. Four basic questions are posed by this
text: who drops out?; why did they drop out?; what caused them to
return?; and what intervention policies can be formulated to
prevent students dropping out in the first place? The answers
provided by this text for the last question are intended to make it
of particular interest to school administrators.
