[QUOTE="CPViolation, post: 8314690, member: 28180"] I'm not going to pull a, "When I was a kid thing." 65%, 25%. That's downright embarrassing. Sad, the greatest Country in the world full of illiterate kids..:bash: Jeff Edit: Argument The claim that more and more American students are dropping out of high school is false. According to the U.S. Census, more young people are graduating from high school than ever before -- a trend has continued for decades, and among all sub-groups of the population. In 1970, 75 percent of young people aged 25 to 29 had graduated from high school. By 1990, that had risen to 86 percent. (1) The following chart shows the rise in high school graduation rates for all sub-groups (except Asians, whose figures are unavailable): Percent of population over age 25 who have completed 4 years of high school or college (2) High School: Year Total White Black Hispanic ------------------------------------ 1960 41.1% 43.2 20.1 NA 1970 52.3 54.5 31.4 32.1 1980 66.5 68.8 51.2 44.0 1990 77.6 79.1 66.2 50.8 1994 80.9 82.0 72.9 53.3 College: Year Total White Black Hispanic ------------------------------------ 1960 7.7% 8.1 3.1 NA 1970 10.7 11.3 4.4 4.5 1980 16.2 17.1 8.4 7.6 1990 21.3 22.0 11.3 9.2 1994 22.2 22.9 12.9 9.1 As for the high-school dropout rate itself, the trends are equally encouraging: High school dropout rate, age 14-24 (3) Year Total White Black Hispanic ------------------------------------ 1970 12.2% 10.8 22.2 NA 1980 12.0 11.3 16.0 29.5 1990 10.1 10.1 10.9 26.8 1993 9.2 8.8 11.2 22.9 Why the lower dropout rates? The above numbers refute conservative rhetoric that spending more on public education has only resulted in worse outcomes. In fact, about 3 percent of the increased spending on public education since 1965 has been devoted to keeping students in school.
