Look before you leap: The Droput Crisis:
"When I was your age, I..." The truth of the matter
is that the parents, grandparents, and even teachers of today’s
youth were faced with a smaller array of choices than are open
to the teenagers of the nineties. This up-beat, powerful video
features young people discussing their reasons for dropping out
and the vast differences between the expectations and the reality
of life after dropping out. Students see the abundance of choices
available to them as high school graduates and the depleted job
market accessible to drop-outs. Look Before You Leap focuses
on the choices and alternatives available to all students contemplating
dropping out. Vocational schools, part-time work, part-time school,
counseling, financial aid, and day care centers for teenage mothers
are presented and discussed as alternatives to dropping out.
This program also sends an important message to those students
who might drop-out by emphasizing the importance of having a
plan or goals before burning the bridges to education; "Don’t
just drop out of school. Drop into life." HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
