Synopsis
A one-hour documentary focusing on the reasons why students leave high school before receiving a diploma and the consequences of those actions. The program travels around the country to examine programs that successfully prepare students and adults for their high school equivalency diplomas. The documentary is part of a national campaign to encourage high school dropouts to enroll in adult learning programs such as the ones examined, and receive their high school equivalency certificates. Implicit in this attempt, of course, is that those last couple of years of high school are unnecessary.
