Education is my topic and I will be trying to dig deeper on the causes of high drop out rates for Texas students. I have come up with some questions to help me further in getting to the core and root of the education problems for Texas students.
Main theme statement: What is the problem of high drop out rates in Texas, who is addressing this issue, and what can we do to fix it permanently?
Questions to ask:
- Who’s addressing the issue of high drop out rates for Texas students?
- Is year round schooling for students better than having a break between grade levels?
- Which schools in Houston are doing a better job helping their student stay in school?
- Who is likely to be hurt if this trend continues?
- How long has this been a problem and how has it changed, gradually or not?
- Are their cultural issues surrounding the epidemic of Texas drop outs?

Good data on ethnic breakdown of data. On to the causes and reasons.
That should be rich. Add “reasons” to your list. That’s the critical issue. The solutions to the dropout rate have to be tied to the reasons.
