Delinquent youths' proclivity to return to school after release from placement in a juvenile residential institution has been significantly discouraged before their 18th birthday. Often, years of poor education performance and failure, discipline issues, neighborhood and family debilitation, older age, adjudication stigmatization, and other crimogenic variables become barriers to continuing their education. This study discusses public expectations and the obstacles to obtaining them. These obstacles include the economic impact of dropping out of school, un/underemployment, lower standard of living, and learning disabilities. The population for the study was 348 delinquent male youth adjudicated to residential placement at a low security youth forestry camp in Pennsylvania. A discriminat...

The Obama administration might one day be enshrined as one of the great stewards and innovators of K-12 education. Administration policies driven by the Race to the Top competition have inspired millions. Unfortunately, the same visionary leadership has been absent when it comes to higher education, where the need for innovation and reform might be even greater than in U.S. primary and secondary schools.
While postsecondary education costs have risen at more than twice the rate of inflation over the past 30 years, the U.S. graduation rate from associate-degree programs is abysmal -- less than 30 percent -- and the national graduation rate from four-year schools hovers around 50 percent, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal failed to indentify a single course that makes Tucson Unified School District's Mexican American Studies program unlawful and he relied too heavily on quotes lifted from textbooks and the program's website, an attorney for the district asserted in an appeal filed June 22.
