In the United States of America, each year almost one-third of all public high school students drop out before graduating and receiving a diploma. School librarians can play a critical role in strengthening and improving the academic achievement of all students, but especially those who are at-risk of dropping out of school. In this article, students most at-risk of dropout are identified. A research-based framework to improve student achievement through dispositions of the school librarian, nurturing relationships and supportive environments, and effective instructional practices is identified. Practical suggestions about specific school library programs are made. The article concludes with a section on implications for practice and suggestions for further study.

MATH, biology, physics: sure, they are all important and, OK, if you want to get a job that's more prestigious than selling powdered meat products at the dollar store, you might want to pay attention to them. But, let's face it -- you're probably not going to need to find the hypotenuse of a triangle using the Pythagorean theorem for most careers.

As students head back to school, they and their parents will be unaware of a debate that rages in academia and among teachers: Should teachers hold back ("fail" in common parlance) underperforming students to repeat a grade or is it better to promote them to the next grade with their peers? As well, "social promotion" fools no one, especially students who well know they were promoted despite their lack of achievement and skills. To promote such students does little for their self-esteem and, in fact, it probably does more harm than good. No wonder that socially promoted students have a higher dropout rate than other students. School boards, teachers, principals, and indeed parents must use common sense in deciding whether or not to promote students. It is reasonable for school boards to...
