The role played by testing in the nation's public school system has been increasing steadily-and growing more complicated-for more than 20 years. The Committee on Educational Excellence and Testing Equity (CEETE) was formed to monitor the effects of education reform, particularly testing, on students at risk for academic failure because of poverty, lack of proficiency in English, disability, or membership in population subgroups that have been educationally disadvantaged. The committee recognizes the important potential benefits of standards-based reforms and of test results in revealing the impact of reform efforts on these students. The committee also recognizes the valuable role graduation tests can potentially play in making requirements concrete, in increasing the value of a diploma, and in motivating students and educators alike to work to higher standards. At the same time, educational testing is a complicated endeavor, that reality can fall far short of the model, and that testing cannot by itself provide the desired benefits. If testing is improperly used, it can have negative effects, such as encouraging school leaving, that can hit disadvantaged students hardest. The committee was concerned that the recent proliferation of high school exit examinations could have the unintended effect of increasing dropout rates among students whose rates are already far higher than the average, and has taken a close look at what is known about influences on dropout behavior and at the available data on dropouts and school completion.

Through engaging stories and the use of students’ voices, this book corrects persistent misconceptions about youth who drop out of high school. Based on research conducted with high school dropouts in both urban and rural communities, the authors argue that, contrary to popular belief, most dropouts are not disengaged from school at an early age. Many have positive memories of their education, both social and academic, that educators and policymakers can draw on to create successful prevention and intervention practices. The narratives and insights presented here will help readers to better understand the interplay of school-related and personal factors that lead students to drop out of school. “Why We Drop Out” is essential reading for K–12 educators, school principals, counselors, psychologists, and everyone concerned with our nation’s dropout crisis. “Every educator will recognize in these stories the daily opportunities that adults have to reach out and grab onto kids who are desperate for a hand and just need someone to pull them over that line.” —From the Foreword by Camille A. Farrington, PhD, author of Failing at School: Lessons for Redesigning Urban High Schools “This book greatly improves our understanding of the complex and long-term process of dropping out of high school.” —Russell W. Rumberger, UC Santa Barbara, director, California Dropout Research Project “A must-read for any teacher, principal, or superintendent interested in changing the lives of our students most at risk.” —Greg Baker, superintendent, Bellingham Public Schools “This is a book that everyone with a stake in education must read!” —Dr. Shivohn Garcia, SUNY Empire State College

For years, we have considered school dropout rates as a problem occurring at the high-school level. However, this is actually an issue that originates and develops in elementary school. In Do Children Drop Out of School in Kindergarten? Gregory Hickman and Randy Heinrich show how high school dropouts in many ways drop out of school long before they reach high school. Using a comprehensive systems approach, Hickman and Heinrich argue that our policy makers, educators, parents, and community members need to scrutinize our education system, moving past fixing short-term symptoms to engaging core, long-term problems for deep, effective change. For real change to take place, our national agenda needs to address the dropout problem at the elementary level, long before kids enter high school.

SLAVE SCHOOLS WHY ARE BLACK STUDENTS HELD IN BONDAGE OF FAILING (SLAVE) SCHOOLS? Abstract This book is unique because it’s two books in one: Pt I includes all minorities to 2012; Pt II concentrates on black issues between 2012 to 2024 encompassing the racial agenda known as Critical Race Theory based on past slavery. However, it omits white slavery that started sooner, lasted longer and it was cheaper to buy white slaves than black slaves. More striking is that absolutely no mention is made of present-day bondage—slavery--where blacks are required by law to attend failing City Schools. Although there have been national and state reforms to close the achievement gap between blacks and whites none had succeeded. Among the efforts to do so is to eliminate meritocracy—measurements—and without testing there is no gap to measure. Another effort is simply to lower standards which 37 states have done. Furthermore, to hide the problem is introducing a major disruptor that does nothing to improve academic achievement such as the racial agenda that is causing money woes, chaos and conflict among parents and school officials. In its extreme form the concept is infused in every school subject K-12 requiring indoctrination rather than education. That’s the real issue causing the conflict. The problem is vividly illustrated with on the 2022 NAEP results with 75% of students below proficiency in math and 67% below in reading with blacks at 16%. Then followed by test two states, the Connecticut Enigma; and the simple solution with the Mississippi Miracle. Very important is a step-by-step approach to show what blacks can do to bring pressure on school officials and school boards to close or turnaround failing schools by kneeling and striking. When all else fails, then do the school board nightmare.

Most kids in the developed world finish high school—but not in the United States. More than a million drop out every year, and the numbers are rising. Dropping Out provides answers to fundamental questions: Who drops out, and why? What happens to them when they do? How can we prevent at-risk kids from short-circuiting their futures?
