Detroit tackles dropout crisis by engaging students, parents

Seen this?

You should. 

This entire PBS NewsHour special is filled with ideas and inspirations for those who want to fight the dropout crisis. 

One of the keys: Giving teachers the tools they need to recognize their students' hardships.

Among the most heart-breaking examples was a student who was stabbed by his mother, kicked out of his home, and yet still found his way to school the next day. 

Ron Tracy puts it best: "Every kid should be known by an adult really well.” 

We couldn't agree more.
