Quote, Paraphrase, and citation


The Quote:
“Every school day, more than 7,200 students fall through the cracks of America's public high schools. Three out of every 10 members of this year’s graduating class, 1.3 million students in all, will fail to graduate with a diploma.”    

Paraphrase response:
My quote sated that 1.3 million students in all will not graduate which means their future is not looking good. Even though the graduating classes may start off with a large number at first, by the end of that senior year the numbers will decrease. Many students who makes it to the high school does not al ways get out because of so many they face in school. We need to make a change, so that the numbers can proceed in the opposite direction.
Summary:

In my article titled “Graduation Rate Continues Decline” by Christopher B.Swanson, is about how the dropout rate continues rise. Students are dropping out by the million and by the groups, which is good at all. The percents to these numbers are getting unbearable and there needs to be a change.  Their future is not looking good for these dropouts’ teens that is not receiving their diplomas and wanting to graduate. Their decision is not only affecting them, their decision is also hurting the economy as well. These numbers of dropouts rates needs to take a turn for the better because students just doesn’t no how important it is to have an education and how far can take you in the long run.
