It results from few main common causes, and the most important one is the lack of inspiration or motivation from the parents. "If you want to know why some students drop out, look at their parents-they pass their low aspirations on to their kids." (Black 1) Lack of proper parenting creates a kind of emptiness in student life, and they try to fill that emptiness by making wrong kind of friends. These friends spoil students innocent minds by introducuing them to drugs, gangs, and unsafe sex. One consequence after getting involved in drugs and gangs are like being kicked out of school. Why should the schools kick out the students for drug related charges instead there should be a separate section to deal with such students? Schools should provide such students with counseling and guide the students towards making their lives better. I think the teachers at school can also motivate the students towards better life. I think if the teachers and parents work together, they can make a great difference in life of a student. Can parents destroy children's life? Yes. Sibling comparison could be considered as one of the main reasons for dropping out from school.
Not all fingers on a hand are equal, so was the case of my brother asif and me. My brother was an Honors student at his school, and I was an average student, I faced lots of comparison in my school going days. My father compared me to my brother in every field ranging from studies to extracurricular activities. My mother did not compare me to my brother, but she told to me that "make your brother an idol, and see the difference it makes in your life." Well, it did made a lot of difference, and I was getting good grades and my high school G.P.A was 3.75. If my mother had not motivated me, I could might had dropped out of high school, but her guidance and efforts saved me from making one of the most worst mistakes in my life. .
Another important reason for the increase in school dropout rates is with school itself, and their insistence on teaching subjects in which many students cannot succeed, and so then repeatedly fail.
