Decreasing Rates of College Graduation of Male

Introduction One of the greatest risks to College Graduation Decreasing Rates today is being male (Bozo, 20-202), for young men face difficult and troubled existences in today's society. Statistics indicate that College graduates are three to five times more likely than girls to have learning and/or reading disabilities (Levine, 20-102). Of the estimated 500,000 to 1 million College graduates who annually dropout of US College Graduations, over 55% are College graduates (Brozo, 20-102). Although about the same percentage of males and College graduates return to school after College Graduation Decreasing Rates, given the fact that there are more males College Graduation Decreasing Rates, the proportion of males without a College Graduation diploma is still higher (Bushnik et al., 20-104). College graduates have higher rates of substance abuse are assaulted more and receive more College graduates suspensions, expulsions, grade failures, and special education referrals. The bulk of children in foster care are male (Daniels, 20-402), as are the majority of children abused, neglected, or murdered (Kipnis, 19-99). Problems are compounded when more than one risk factor is present in a young boy's life, such as a broken home, abuse and neglect, child poverty, parental substance abuse, corporal punishment, father absence, lack of male mentors, ineffectual education, and criminality (Wotherspoon & Schissel, 20-101). Society has largely pursued ineffective strategies for care and restoration of young men at risk (Kipnis, p. 5). Addressing Male College graduates' needs is urgent because males commit all but a small percentage of homicides, are more likely to be victims of violent crime, commit suicide at an alarming rate, and make up the majority of drug addicts and homeless (Kipnis, 19-99).

Discussion

A number of recent investigations have interrogated the validity of the official statistics and try to develop more unquestionable estimators of high school graduation rates.2 warmed debates about the grades and tendencies in the factual high school graduation rate have appeared in the popular press.3 Depending on the facts and figures causes, definitions, and procedures utilised, the U.S. graduation rate has been estimated to be any place from 66 to 88 percent in latest years—an astonishingly broad variety for such a rudimentary statistic. The range of approximated few rates is even greater—from 50 to 85 percent.

In Heckman and LaFontaine (20-207), we demonstrate why such different conclusions are come to in preceding studies. We use cleaner data, better procedures and a broad variety of facts and figures sources to approximate U.S. graduation rates. When comparable assesses are utilised on comparable trials, a consensus can be come to over all facts and figures sources. After modifying for multiple causes of bias and dissimilarities in experiment building, we set up that (1) the ...
