PLN 17

Today I read a post about High school Drop Outs. This was an important blog. Having a High School kid dropping out every 26 seconds is astonishing. A million students a year is ridiculous, students need to be reassured how essential school is. If they want to succeed in life, they cannot do that without finishing high school. They are throwing their lives away, and their parents are to busy watching the newest episode of American Idol to care. We need to have classes or speakers to let students know the difficulties they will face if they do not finish. Four years of high school goes by faster than some students think. Just finishing it can change a life dramatically. Parents need to talk to students who are struggling and they need to help them out, so that they do not make the mistake of dropping out.

Alena,
You did a good job picking topics that are interesting as well as topics that you could elaborate on and give examples on.

Alena!! You had a lot of eye contact and spoke very loudly. I think America should learn about other cultures because it seems like we're very close minded to cultures outside our own. I also agree that parents need to be more involved in their kid's lives. Because drop out rates are reaching an all time high. I think there should be rules for dropping out. Great presentation!

Alena, great job on your presentation. You spoke loud and clear, made eye contact, and had good points. One thing to work on would just be to cut filler words out of your vocabulary. Awesome job!
