Reasons why students quit school

		http://suite101.com/article/dropouts-give-reasons-a8681
		When 500 dropouts, ages 16-25, were interviewed, they gave many reasons for leaving school: 47% said classes were not interesting 43% missed too many days to catch up 45% entered high school poorly prepared by their earlier schooling 69% said they were not motivated to work hard 35% said they were failing 32% said they left to get a job 25% left to become parents 22% left to take care of a relative
		Schools can solve some of the causes to why students dropped out, for example they can make classes more interesting, increase time on the curriculum, and motivate their students more. Teachers can try and make class more interesting by coming up with fun activities in which the students can engage in. From my personal experience I know that not all teachers do this because I have a class in which all we do is busy work. We receive three work sheets every day and all we do is work out of the book. I also agree that some teachers do not spend enough time on the curriculum or prepare you enough. I have had teachers who really don't teach and you must learn the subject on your own. I have also had teachers who can not control the class which prohibits others from learning. Schools can fix this by perhaps hiring teachers who are more adequate. Also not many students have the support or motivation at home; I believe that schools and the staff members should try and get to know their students better in order to help them out and support them. I don't think that many schools have this relationship.
