Prior to the past school year California had no way to track every K-12 student and so was unable to accurately report the dropout rate.

With a new way to track each student California can now report that the dropout rate for 2010 was 18.2%. As early as 8th grade the dropout rate is 3.5%.

Richard Handl is a Swedish man smart enough to obtain radioactive elements and attempt to assemble a nuclear reactor, but dumb enough to do so at home without a license from the regulatory agency in Sweden. Needless to say they would have turned down his application.
