The US must do something about high school dropout No one just drops out of school, says a disgusted Chung Chang Yong, principal of Ewha Girls High School. A student may transfer to another school, but no one just drops out. … To drop out of school is a major disaster, a catastrophe. It wouldnt happen unless it was unavoidable. Maybe not in South Korea where 93% of all students graduate from high school on time. But in the United States, almost one-quarter of all students — more than 1.2 million individuals each year — fail to graduate. Once the world leader in secondary-school education, the United States now ranks a desultory 18th among 36 nations examined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. abcnews.go/Business/story?id=6293334
