Dear David Warlick,

I am a fellow student, and I have been able to connect to your blog. No students begin school hoping to drop out, they start by thinking and hoping to get to college and make a difference in the world. As the year commences unfortunatly some of these students feel the need to drop out of school. Many people wonder why kids would want to throw their lives away, but kids drop out mainly from these four reasons, their parents, classmates, teachers, and the school district. Some school districts find that a certain student is not very smart, and not efficient, but what they are forgetting is how will these students gain intelligence and how will they learn to obtain efficieny. All four of these factors can make students feel miserable and persuade them to drop out of school, causing them to throw their dreams of college and making  difference in the world all away. So I think school districts are a big factor in why kids stay in school, but not the only factor.
