This just in: School is more than just academics! What the Research Tells Us:
Those who stay in school receive something more than a diploma. It is more than discussing academic subjects like reading, writing and arithmetic.
Students who stay in school and finish their high school education possess something non-grads don't have. Something happens in the twelve years of a K-12 school experience that doesn't occur in someone without a diploma.
As economist James Heckman (from the University of Chicago) reviewed the results of longitudinal studies, he drew a few conclusions. Those are summarized here:
Academic success does not necessarily predict future success in life.
Students gain and mature greatly when they remain in a disciplined routine.
Improvement and maturity occur in relationship with a cohort of people.
Social and emotional learning are a large part of the education process.
In other words, there are hidden advantages to staying in school.
