How to Prevent your Child from Becoming a Dropout

To end Black dropouts, parents must value education and take it seriously. As a parent you just can’t leave the education of your child to the teachers and administrators no matter what type of school your child attends.

Even if you dropped out of high school or didn’t complete college, it is still important for you to be :

• aware of the school’s curriculum,
• what expectations the school, especially your child's teachers, have for your child,
• the school’s standards,
• the teachers' and the administrators’ qualifications,
• the school’s rankings,
• your child’s safety in the schools,
• whether giving homework is a part of the school’s policy,
• and whether the school welcome and encourage your involvement.

As a parent, you have responsibility to provide for your child’s food, shelter, and his overall development in becoming a functioning adult in society. Your child’s education is an essential piece of the puzzle. Set the right environment in the home.

Organize your home and your child to make sure that he can balance doing chores, completing homework, associating with his friends, having special times with you, and having fun. Set a good example. Let your child see you reading. Watch educational programs with your child. Have conversations about current events and what's being taught in your child’s classrooms.

Again, take the education of your child seriously. You don’t want your child to get discouraged and drop out of high school. Let them know that not only is this unacceptable.

Tell your child that what is acceptable is for him to apply himself, make the required effort, graduate, and go on to realize his full potential. And, most of all encouragement him and give him your full support.
