Pushouts Not Dropouts
Clip: Season 2019 Episode 3 | 2m 10sVideo has Closed Captions
About 1.2 million young people are pushed out of school each year.
Coming Soon to PBS: Martin Flores directs YO! Watts, a program for 16–24 year-olds who did not finish high school. To solve the “dropout crisis,” Flores says we must first address a widespread misunderstanding: These students are not giving up on their education; they are being pushed out of school.
