Carrots or Sticks for High School Dropouts?
Toby, Jackson; Armor, David J.
Public Interest, n106 p76-90 Win 1992
Traces strategies for preventing high school dropouts from the traditional reliance on remediation or incentives to recent negative sanctions (e.g., West Virginia's "no school, no drive" law). The General Educational Development Program serves those who return voluntarily to school after having realized the importance of education. (JB)
