Fixing the Cracks in Education So No One Slips Through

Pages 348-356 | Published online: 30 Jan 2008
 

Abstract

Education acts in this country have been created with the express purpose of preventing students from slipping through the cracks. Unfortunately, legislation has not been successful. By disaggregating the student dropout rate in Texas and juxtaposing this information to the prison influx rate in 2001, a profile of the population entering Texas prisons emerges. Both data and various schools of thought are examined in search of the underlying factors inherent in juvenile delinquency, as well as feasible, practical solutions to such a complex conundrum.
