3. yes i do think that these issues are still applicable today because students still deal with failing classes, family problems, and racism and i dont think it would ever stop because it's part of life. As a leader, what i would do to change regarding this issue is to try and find some programs or activities that would help students look forward to school and to learning knew things because they need something that would make them want stay in school and loo forward to things and like that they would be more successful.
