RETENION HAS BEEN A CONTINUING PROBLEM FOR THE 30+ YEARS I HAVE BEEN IN THIS BUSS. SOME STUDENTS CAN BE SAVED BECAUSE THEY IDENTIFY THAT THEY OUR HAVING A PROBLEM. WE CAN THAN WORK TO SAVE THAT STUDENT. UNTIL WE CAN TALK TO THE STUDENT WHO DROPS WE DO NOT KNOW WHY.
I agree. However, I found that most of my students don't relize how much they have retained until they actually apply the material in real life situations.
