Dueber, Julianne. "Why You Should Stay in School." Education and College. Ed. William Dudley. San Diego: Greenhaven Press, 2003. Teen Decisions. Gale Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 2 Dec. 2010. Julianne Dueber, in the excerpt from the book "The Ultimate High School Survival Guide" (2003) argues that students, even those struggling to pass, should stick it out and get their diploma.  Dueber supports her argument by answering the question "why should you stay in school?"  She provides the reasons; the type of jobs that face a high school dropout are much worse than those for a high school or college graduate, furthermore, a high school graduate will have more self respect and that of others, and lastly there are many alternatives than the traditional four-year high school route.  The author's purpose is to inform struggling high school students of their options and get them the necessary help on their way to the diploma, in order to help more students go forth to a higher education.  The author writes in a semi-formal, almost humorous, tone for high school students. This article was highly useful throughout my proposal.  I will use this information in my final essay because it addresses reasons why people don't finish school, while also discussing a range of different methods to help students finish high school.  This information was reliable because the author is a high school teacher, and she has the opportunity to observe the reasons why students have trouble finishing high school.  Also, this excerpt came from the Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context database.  This article is especially biased because the author is passionate about children and education.  The information presented in this excerpt will shape my argument to lean toward the consequences of not getting your diploma.
