The Dropout's Perspective on Leaving School. Highlights: An ERIC/CAPS Digest.
Beekman, Nancy
This factsheet considers dropping out of school from the dropout's point of view: reasons for dropping out, life after leaving school, and the dropouts' own evaluation of their decision to leave school. It identifies a dislike of school, low academic achievement, and a desire to work as key reasons for dropping out. Thirteen resource documents are listed. (NB)
