How can students be motivated to stay in school? 
First of all, I think the students should be motivated mainly by their parents and then
by their teachers. Parents should motivate their children by telling them how being a
high-school graduate will help them in life. The parent may mention how being a
high-school graduate helped them or how they were hurt by being a high-school drop-out. 
Teachers can help motivate students by making school fun along with the teaching of the
regular lessons. Teachers could also invite various people that graduated from
high-school and some that were drop-outs to tell their own personal story. This may help
students see the reality of being a high-school graduate or that being a high school
drop-out can seriously affect that persons' life. 
Another thing that should be taken into consideration is that when a parent or teacher is
talking to their child or student, the parent or teacher should not focus all on negative
ideas. If they focus on negative ideas, and say such things as, "If you don't finish
school then......," then the child could be demotivated instead of being motivated.
Parents and teachers should focus mainly on the positive ideas when motivating someone. 
How can the lure of drugs and money be overcome? 
The lure of drugs and money can be overcome by showing students that drugs can be very
bad and that a craving for money can lead a student to steal or anything else to get
money, thus ruining their high-school career if they are caught breaking the laws. Once
again, certain people can be brought in to talk to the students. I think having an actual
person to talk to is better than just watching a video or having the teacher discuss the
topic, because the person is right there, the students know that the situation is
reality, and the students know he or she is for real and the students can ask the person
their own personal questions. 
The lure of drugs and money could also be overcome by teaching children, at a young age,
good Christian morals. If good morals are taught at a young age then the morals will
probably last through their life. 
Parents need to be aware if there are any signs of these problems. If there are any
problems, they must be corrected immediately. 
The parents should also teach that money is not everything and that drugs cannot make you
escape from reality and problems. 
What can educators do to motivate students who lack interest in school, have no
motivation, and no goal for the future? 
As mentioned in topic number one, educators can talk to students and tell why school is
important. Maybe a one-on-one talk with a student who lacks motivation would help that
student regain their motivation. 
If a student has no motivation, I think the educator should do a little research on him
and his family to see why this student may have no motivation. If research shows that the
student lives in a healthy environment and has understanding parents, a talk with the
parents may need to occur. An educator may be able to give some tips to the parents on
how to get their child motivated or a talk with the parents might help reveal another
problem the child has, such as drugs or social problems. If another problem is
discovered, the situation can be tackled in a different way to help spur some motivation
in that student. 
If a student has no goal for the future, then the school needs to work on a program that
is required for students to help them discover their talents and abilities. Something
like the OASIS test would be a good start. This goal-planning helps open up doors to the
student that he or she may never have known were there. 
An educator needs to find out what a student is interested in and help the student find
goals. The educator should give statistics on what kind of job the student can get if he
or she has graduated from high-school or if he or she does not graduate. 
How important of a role should the parents play? 
I think parents should play the biggest and most important role in every aspect of their
child's life. The parent should play the biggest role in motivating their child. I also
think the parents should play a large role in discipline. Parents need to discipline
their child and I think there is less discipline happening in families today then there
was before this time. I can tell that there is less discipline, just by the way I see
children act. A lot of children seem to boss their own parents around. If parents and
even schools had stricter rules and discipline, there would not be as much trouble as
there is now. 
Another subject that shows the lack of discipline in today's society is the amount of
teen pregnancies, and the amount of teens running around late at night being
troublemakers. If teens are running around at nights, that means that the parents are not
controlling their own children. Parents need and should be aware of their child's
activities and the people that they associate with. If parents know this, then they
should be able to discipline their child and be reassured that there could or could not
be a problem with their child. 
Do you believe there should be more contact between parents and teachers? 
I think parents and teachers need a lot more contact. For one, contact with each other
will allow the parents to see how their student is doing and will allow the teachers to
see how the parents are. 
A while back, there were a lot of parent-teacher association groups, but now most parents
both work and have little time for these kin
