Choice Bus makes rounds to educated kids

Video from News 14 in Charlotte, NC:

CHARLOTTE – A national non profit is using a powerful tool to educate students in North Carolina.

The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation is an organization dedicated to reducing the national dropout rate. They partnered with AT&T to bring the Choice Bus to middle schools around the state, showing students the importance of staying in school.

Once onboard the bus students are shown a video about staying in school, followed by an unveiling of an exact replica of a jail cell. Eight of out every 10 high school dropouts ends up in jail.

Statistics show most high school dropouts lead a life of crime and eventually wind up behind bars. Representatives from the Choice Bus tour hopes their presentations will help students make the right choices in their lives.
