Question 8 • Social Problems 1: A World in Crisis (IS)
Karina has never liked school. Writing and math never came easily to her, and she has to work really hard just to get passing grades. She loves to hang out at her father’s body shop and help him work on cars. She knows that she wants to follow him in the family business Since she will never use a lot of what she is learning, she wants to drop out. What is the BEST way to encourage Karina to stay in school?
Answer
A
Provide a tutor so that she can see how satisfying high school can be.
B
Get her into a vocational program that will teach the skills she needs.
C
Require her to attend school every day and punish her if she does not.
D
Remind her that she may change her mind and want to go to college one day.
Explanation
Karina is motivated by working on cars and plans to join her father’s business. A vocational program can connect school to that goal while teaching practical skills she can use in the body shop. A tutor might help with difficult subjects, but it does not address why school feels irrelevant to her. The best choice is to get her into a vocational program that teaches the skills she needs.
