1 Which of the following is NOT true?

High school dropouts have more problems in society and in their future lives. They are more likely to be unemployed or live in poverty. There is also a big difference in income if you compare high school dropouts with graduates. According to data by the US Census bureau Americans with a bachelor's degree earn about $ 50,000 , those with a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only about $ 20,000. Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to 50%. Many pupils do not understand the implications of dropping out of school. They often demand better teachers, more lessons to catch up in subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools have adopted to this situation. They offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.

1) Dropout students are likely to face problems in their future lives.

2) Dropouts earn less than those with high school diploma.
*3) Some American high schools show a dropout rate of over 50%
4) Some American schools offer evening classes.
