Science Daily has just reported on a study that says if you drop out of high school, you’ll have 5.1 fewer years of “perfect health.”
Of course, teenagers aren’t particularly known for examining long-term consequences of their actions, but this might one more piece of information to share with students along with teaching about the economic impact of dropping-out (see “How Much Is A College Degree Worth?”).
Thanks to Inside School Research for the tip.
It would be interesting to see if that campaign would work. Have the anti-smoking campaigns continued to work with teens?
By the way, Happy Holidays!
