High School Drop-Outs The following is a personal concern of mine. There is a problem! I think it should be fixed… My purpose is not to place blame, but to make every citizen aware of what is happening. My wife and I have decided how we can (and do) help. It’s up to every person, individually, to answer,,, how they can help fix this tragedy. Wayne and Diane Kronz

High School Drop-Out Rate in Americas Large Cities Out of Every 100 Freshman Who Enter High School This Happens… 70 Drop-Out 30 Graduate

21 Workers 79 Non-Workers Not Working 35 23 +21 79 Working 7 +14 21 OR,

Consider these questions… What can families and parents do to remedy these problems? What can education do to halt this epidemic? What responsibility rests upon the community? What about religion and the church? Is this epidemic un-avoidable? Can it not be fixed at all? What about the financial implications of it all? Please post your response to these questions (and others) on my blog MethodMap.blogspot.com or video page. Thank you, Wayne Kronz
