: I am researching this topic for my fourth year university assignment and I would appreciate any input from those who have experienced leaving school early or are thinking about it. : Answers to the following questions would be extremely helpful: : 1) Why did you drop out of school? : 2) What could have been done to keep you in school? : 3) What effects has leaving school had on your life? : Thankyou all!! Keri, you might also want to read Michelle Fine's FRAMING DROPOUTS, where she does some rather intensive research on high school dropouts. Questionnaires are a rather suspect type of research when taken all by themselves; Fine's book might suggest a more rigorous way of getting at the truth about what makes people drop out of high school.
