I saw a piece on PBS FRONTLINE about the work of <a href="http://www.all4ed.org/about_the_alliance/robert-balfanz">Robert Balfanz</a> a researcher at the Center of Social Organization of Schools at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Balfanz has done a lot of work on predicting when kids will drop out of higher.<br />
<br />
Like us, here at the Evil Black Economist Blog, he believes middle school is the key place for determining a kids life trajectory.<br />
