This is specifically important because there needs to be a shift in the students and staff thinking at all postsecondary educational institutions. Too many students believe that education means nothing and they just go through the motions, this is a problem because these students find themselves not completing classes, dropping out and ultimately never finishing college and earning a credential. They do not realize the importance of education. By 2020, President Obama has said he wants the United States to have a higher proportion of students with college credentials than any other nation. “But the nation cannot get to that point unless many more people from modest means enter and complete college” (Schmidt, 2010).
The second problem is due to the school’s in the United States of America giving more opportunities to the Upper Class, not willing to invest in the lower end. This lack of investment in school has not been connected to a lack of ability, but rather, a reaction to the racial prejudice and discrimination that minority students face in the classroom and other areas of life (Battle ; Lewis 2002). Good students often seek out and choose to participate in extracurricular activities. The good grades are not a result of the activity, but rather as an indicator of whether or not a student will participate in activities (Chambers ; Schreiber 2004). Student deviance and delinquency have been linked to academic outcomes as well. Deviant behavior ranges from less severe acts such as disorderly conduct in the classroom to more severe acts like committing criminal offenses. Poor academic performance is often accompanied with deviant behavior. It is not clear, however, which comes first. The SES of a child is most commonly determined by combining parents’ educational level, occupational status, and income level. Students who have a low SES typically earn lower scores and are more likely to dropout of school. The economic hardships that are caused by low SES lead to disruptions in parenting, an increasing amount of family conflicts and an increased likelihood of depression in parents and in single-parent households (Eamon 2005).
