Mary Said:

Why do people hate on High school dropouts?

We Answered:

Because dropouts are losers. How hard is it to graduate high school? Even a moron could do it. It takes an extra special person to quit something so easy, especially when you're so close to the finish line. Christ almighty, man!

Roberta Said:

what is the current dropout rate?

We Answered:

Hello!
The National Center for Education Statistics provides information on dropout rates at http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2007/dropout05/

This data is for high school. The data is a bit old (for 2005), but was released as recent as June 2007.

You might also want to check with your local library. Librarians are experts at finding this kind of information quickly and they can usually help you over the phone, by email, or in person.
