Superb Ways to Prevent Dropouts

We cannot afford to shortchange our youngsters intelligence.  When you, as a teacher, make your
classroom interesting and challenging, you show that you are interested in the child intellectual advancement and the child's effort will reflect that.

And, as a child goes through his elementary grades and advances to high school, that high school must find ways to individualize the education of the youngsters and show the child that their presence in the classroom is important. Indeed, the whole climate in the school must reflect that for all the students.

The school must not only teach basic subjects, but also be flexible enough to have the child pursue personal interests either in or out of the classroom and get credit for doing so. The youngsters who created the app for dealing with police brutality are to be commended just as much or more so than the youngsters who excel in basketball or football..

We must recognize our children not only for their athletic prowess, but also for their intellectual accomplishments.  This gives an equal recognition and consideration to both and when children know that their individual efforts are being appreciated and praised you will get more of that type of effort. Always keep this in mind. It will go along way towards preventing dropouts.
