What Would You Do About Toledo's Drop-Out Factories?

This link, http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071030/NEWS01/710300342, goes to an article in the Cincinnati Post. I seem to remember seeing something about this on a morning news program but I couldn't find a link to it. What is your opinion? Is it something the administration can do anything about? If teen-agers want to quit school is this a good thing for those who stay, or should we try to keep them in school no matter how bored or disruptive they may be to others trying to learn? How much of this is the fault of the administration or teachers, and how much is the responsibility of the students and their parents? Can they leave, and then return to school when they've been in "the real world" a while? Should the teachers and administrators be doing more to keep these kids interested in school? And how? Do we need smaller classrooms, more personal instruction, and more technology? Is there some kind of "Sesame Street" for older kids to keep them interested? I invite your comments. Maybe we can "brainstorm" ways to get kids to stay in school, or feel less guilty about the "failure" to keep them there.
