High School Dropout Crisis

Surfed over to cnn.com and saw this article reporting that almost 1/3 of US high school students don't graduate. It's only part of the actual "Time" magazine article, which of course requires a paid subscription to see the entire thing. But in the part on cnn.com that is there, what is amazingly absent is any mention of gender breakdown-- even though they do mention the ethnic breakdown of the drop-outs. MANN regulars already know that this 1/3 of high school drop-outs are most assuredly overwhelmingly male. cnn.com also has this report on the now-critical shortage of child psychiatrists in all our states. Again, anyone care to guess how many of these underserved children are boys?
