School Dropouts
Many people count school dropouts as those students who leave school before their course of studies is ended, but few people know that there is a very large number of students, which enter the school compound every day until the day of graduation, that could technically be labelled dropouts. These students don their school uniforms, come to the school compound and spend the entire day, but do not attend a single session of lessons. This type of behaviour usually took place between the end of the third and fifth years of the High School programme. Such students leave home for school because their parents would not give consent for them to leave school, and remain idly at home, or, as they would tell you when confronted, they do not want to stay at home where they would be given chores to do. They, therefore, prefer to come into the school yard and hide in the washrooms and at he back of he school, and peep and dodge from those in authority. In other words, they are not dropouts from school, but they
are dropouts from school work. And with the growing trend of indiscipline in schools this situation worsens yearly.

Contributor's Note
As a high school teacher the above has been my observation throughout the years. It would please me to hear the experiences of other teachers at this level.

Greetings! This is sad indeed. . . there must be something that can be done to re-create an interesting and relevant curriculum that can re-capture the minds of our youth -- while competing with the obvious illusion of entitlement. . . . YE is Here!

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
I agree with you, but when you look at the trend in curricula changes in formal education worldwide the emphasis is one refered to as student-centered rather than teacher-centered. Many students take this as licence to act in abnormal ways in the classroom. And coupled with 'rights of the child' and much of the psychological 'babble' about methods of discipline, I believe that the change in curricula has to be accompanied by other measures in the school as well as by changes in the home.
I was a student just like that, got all dressed up, headed to school and never went. I was bored, highschool was nothing but a repetition of middle school. In my mid 20s, I tired of low-paying food service work, went to college and earned my degree. Not everyone can march lockstep as part of the class. It is easier perhaps for the average student, and harder for those on the fringe of either being ahead or behind the rest.
