Add $1.1 billion to the cost of union control of our classrooms. That is the cost of crime committed by the drop outs. Of course many of the drop outs are also illegal aliens, so that is an added cost.
"The California Dropout Research Project at UC Santa Barbara found that cutting the dropout rate in half would prevent 30,000 juvenile crimes and save $550 million every year.
"This study demonstrates the immediate impact dropouts have on both public safety and the economy," said project Director Russell W. Rumberger. "If California could reduce the dropout rate, it could subsequently reduce the juvenile crime rate and its staggering impact on the state budget."
Maybe if education was based on educating students, not socializing them, the drop out rate would be lower. If parents had a choice of schools, not the current union monopoly, there would be fewer drop outs.
As parents and citizens we have allowed this by creating school boards owned by the unions.
