- This image says "Every 9 seconds a kid in America drops out of school". That just seemed like an unbelievable number to me, so I thought it might spark some interesting problem solving in class. Is this a true statistic?? And how many coupons would have to be used to generate enough money for a program to help a student stay in school?
