Disposable Youth
Seventy percent of the 2.4 million prisoners in America today are high school dropouts. Half of all African American and Hispanic urban high school students drop out. Forty percent of all urban high school students drop out. There is a direct line from these staggering statistics to an outcome of crime and prison. Disposable Youth offers a new way of organizing American high schools, an educational innovation called Career Academy, which graduates 90 percent of their students. By implementing Career Academies on a national scale, the number of prisoners incarcerated in America could be reduced by one million. Changing this destructive path from drop-out to incarceration is critical to the future of America.
