PUSHED OUT : Youth United for Change on the Drop Out Crisis
Students are often blamed for dropping out of schools. But Youth United for Change - a youth organizing group from Kensington, Philadelphia, is turning the tables around to show how schools are responsible for the drop out crisis. Their report - PUSHED OUT - cites issues like boredom, lack of student teacher relationships, and overcrowded classrooms as major reasons that students leave schools. Read the entire report at http://youthunitedforchange.org.
