In a survey of high school dropouts, respondents indicated that they felt alienated at school and that no one even noticed if they failed to show up for class.
High school dropouts also complained that school did not reflect real-world challenges.
More than half of respondents said that the major reason for dropping out of high school was that they felt their classes were uninteresting and irrelevant (Bridgeland & di Iulio, 2006).

Table Talk, 5 minutesHow do my defined values and key purpose in life
overlap with what I am doing here in my current role?
What is my intention here?
Is there anywhere my values and philosophy appear to be in conflict with some area of the job? If so, how can I get into alignment so I can be happy and build a legacy with others?
