      abstract = {The vast majority of kids in the developed world finish  high school - but not in the United States. More than a  million kids drop out every year, around 7,000 a day, and  the numbers are rising. "Dropping Out" offers a  comprehensive overview by one of the country's leading  experts, and provides answers to fundamental questions: Who  drops out, and why? What happens to them when they do? How  can we prevent at-risk kids from short-circuiting their  futures? Students start disengaging long before they get to  high school, and the consequences are severe - not just for  individuals but for the larger society and economy.  Dropouts never catch up with high school graduates on any  measure. They are less likely to find work at all, and more  likely to live in poverty, commit crimes, and suffer health  problems. Even life expectancy for dropouts is shorter by  seven years than for those who earn a diploma.},
