Against all odds: the natural history of an alternative-adult high school program
Abstract
The traditional high school program is not appropriate for all students. Some students cannot cope with the pressures from social! family background, personal problems (independent of social/family)
and school factors, and thus look to relieve these pressures outside of the educational system. The combination of these pressures, or risk factors, can cause a student to become a high school dropout,
resulting in negative educational, social, and financial consequences to self and the nation.
