Adolescence: Cultural Deprivation, Poverty, and the Dropout.

The article discusses the cultural deprivation, poverty and the dropout in adolescence. The importance of considering academic achievement separately for male and female students were given much consideration in a study by researchers. The authors describe the variation among the culturally deprived adolescent as concrete, content-centered, slow, externally oriented, inductive and physically oriented. The fact of variation among culturally deprived students is not as important as its association with differentially appropriate educational environments.
