Summary: (http://dropoutnation.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/dn_podcast_itunes_logo.png) On this week's Dropout Nation Podcast, RiShawn Biddle takes a look at the long-term prospects for 16-to-24 year-old dropouts (as well as those with diplomas), and explains why we must overhaul American public education. In an increasingly knowledge-based economic and social world, high-quality education is key to helping our kids stay on the path to lifelong success -- and away from the consequences of unwed parenthood and worse.
