Look Before You Leap: The Dropping-Out Crisis

"When I was your age, I..." The truth of the matter is that the parents, grandparents, and even teachers of today’s youth were faced with a smaller array of choices than are open to the teenagers of today. This upbeat, powerful video features young people discussing their reasons for dropping out and the vast differences between the expectations and the reality of life after dropping out. Students see the abundance of choices available to them as high school graduates and the depleted job market accessible to dropouts. Look Before You Leap focuses on the choices and alternatives available to all students contemplating dropping out. Vocational schools, part-time work, part-time school, counseling, financial aid, and day care centers for teenage mothers are presented and discussed as alternatives to dropping out. This program also sends an important message to those students who might drop out by emphasizing the importance of having a plan or goals before burning the bridges to education. "Don’t just drop out of school. Drop into life."

A Cambridge Educational Production.

One 30-minute video and workbook.
