It is the same story all over: dropouts are not work-ready, although I love the term school leavers and toyed with, but abandoned the idea of saying shovel-ready.
There are students in my classroom who will not be ready to work when they graduate. If they graduate. They will take the same work ethic to their job that they bring to class. Some have already met the revolving door that you get when you fail to show up at work.
They tell me they would try at school if we pay them.
I tell them, it usually works the other way: you work and then you are paid.
Have we destroyed this generation?
Most have the inner strength to overcome adversity. If we don't continue to rescue them. But how much formal education will they have? How much do they need?
