I was bored %25 .9

I was failing too many classes %27.6

Academic Difficulty:

I was failing too many lessons. %27.6

I was bored.%25.9

Inability to cope with the academic pressure is a reason for kids to opt out of school. Studies prove that kids who do not read proficiently by fourth grade are four times more likely to drop out of school. Studies also reinstate the fact that students who fail in math and English in the eighth grade are 75% more likely to drop out of high school.

Bad Influence:

I got into drugs. %11,6

I got pregnant/ gave a birth %10,8

I was a member of a gang.

Bad influence on children is the most common reason for kids dropping out of school. Early or unlimited exposure to alcohol, drugs, internet, and television can distract children from pursuing academics and initiate them into antisocial activities instead

Family And Socio-Economic Needs:

I became a caregiver %25.9

I had to make money to support my family %19

Financial issues and work %1,2

A research reveals that students belonging to low-income groups are more likely to drop out of school. They may have to work to support their family. Some children may need to stay back at home to take care of their siblings while the parents go out to work. Divorce or separation of parents also affects the education of children adversely.

physical or other mental problems %2,7

mental health issues %2,1

The health of a child greatly affects his learning ability and performance at school. Illnesses that occur during childhood and continue life long may curb a child’s ability to complete school.

Retention:

I was held back.%14.2

Retention has a negative impact on the self-esteem of children. They feel bad being older than their classmates and tend to drop out of school.

Disengagement:

School wasn't relavant to my life.%20.3

Teacher and school problems %1,2

Many kids find school boring. According to a study, almost 71% students become disinterested in high school while they are in the 9th and 10th grades. They prefer to go late to school, skip classes and take long lunch breaks. The lack of interest often leads to dropping out of school. Some students find it difficult to connect with the teacher. A majority of students did not feel their teachers motivated them enough to work hard.

Transition:

Noone cared if I attended %17.7

residental or school instability %2,1

Studies indicate that a transition from the cohesive environment of middle school to the anonymity of high school may take a toll on the academic interest of students.

The relationship with the teachers is not as strong as it was in the middle school. It may demotivate students and make them lose interest in studies.

Have Realistic Expectations:

Encourage and motivate your child to perform well in school. However, do not have unrealistic expectations from your child. It may cause undue stress to your child and lead to a disastrous academic performance.

You need to inculcate good values in your child. Tell him that academic excellence is the first step towards ensuring a successful career and life.

Talk to them about career realities :

Talk to your children about your own career path and the paths of others. Help them see the differences between gaining a high school diploma/college degree and how many more doors open for them at each level. When talking about what they want to do with their professional lives, teach them how to find out what educational level is required for interesting jobs.

Consider a different school.

Whether your student is in high school or college, options exist for other schools that may be a better fit, whether online or on campus. Explore some of the alternatives that may be available, whether a charter or vocational high school, a community college, an online program or something else.

Get Involved:

As parents, your involvement is a major factor that motivates your child to succeed at school. Keep a track of how your child is progressing academically, so that you can help him improve his grades.

Don’t pressure them to do too much.

While it’s good for parents to encourage and champion their children’s abilities, too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

If your child seems stressed by too many extracurriculars and expectations, encourage them to prioritize their education and cut back on things causing them stress — at least for a while.

don't be too hard, either you break or you are broken

Stay in touch with the school.

Teachers get to see students in the academic environment more than parents do, so if you’re concerned that your high schooler is considering dropping out, it might be a good idea to contact the teacher or principal to discuss your concerns and brainstorm solutions.

Encourage a break, rather than quitting.

New college students often find the transition from high school to be harder than expected. Remind your student to give it another semester, just another 15 weeks, and perhaps suggest taking fewer credits next semester, if he or she is feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes that can make all the difference

Communicate.

“Always keep an open line of communication with your child,”

“They are bound to hide things from you, but let them know that you’ll always have their back if things go wrong.

The worst thing you can do is become unapproachable, which leaves your child on an island.”

Be supportive and involved.

Whether your student finds him/herself struggling with schoolwork, friends, mental health or figuring out what to do in life, find ways to support him or her. Great examples of meaningful interventions include tutors, mentors, psychologists/counselors or career shadowing. Simple acts also make a difference: If your student seems stressed after school one day, ask if he/she wants to go on a walk or go get a meal and chat.

Consider a gap year.

Many programs exist for students looking to take that year between high school and college, or even during college, off from school.

These include community service, cultural immersion or tutoring at-risk youth. Or students can simply take a year to travel or work. Families might consider working with students to create a starting and ending point for this gap year to address any issues the student may be wrestling with, such as financial difficulties or a desire to pursue a different field of study.

"SCHOOL DROPOUT"

Emel Bodur

Reasons for students dropping out of school include being kicked out, family issues, financial problems, health issues, and academic difficulties. Families can support their children by having realistic expectations, considering different schools, getting involved, and staying in touch with the school. Schools can provide family support mechanisms, adopt early-intervention strategies, create out-of-school programs, be honest with students, introduce classroom coaches, be mindful about nutrition, set study goals, ask for help, help students make informed decisions, develop mentoring/tutoring programs, teach them how to study, and support their mental health.
