In addition to home improvement projects I spend several hours every morning googling "school dropout" articles in the national news. I search for people working on high school dropout issues and email them about the Middle School Archive Project that appears to be making a difference at our school. It is my hobby. I hope several other middle schools join us by getting a 300+ pound vault donated to bolt to the floor in their lobby to house letters from 8th graders until their 10-year class reunions. At that reunion we also have the former students speak with current students about what they learned the past 10 years. Would they do anything different if they were 13 again? Google "dropout cure" for more details at the first hit.
