(NAPS) Nearly 17 million high school seniors gradu- ate each year, the U.S. Department of Education estimates, and many plan to attend college. But are they all really col- lege-ready? Data suggests the answer is a resounding “no.” According to the 2015 “Condition of College & Career Readiness” report from American College Testing (ACT), 31 percent of the ACT- tested graduating class is not meeting any of the four subject benchmarks: reading, English, science and mathematics. These low-readiness test scores coincide with college dropout fig- ures that top 29 million, making the number of Americans who have dropped out of college greater than the number of American adults who have not obtained their high school degrees. “While test scores pro- vide a benchmark for high school seniors, college readiness is an import- ant issue for everyone headed to college, wheth- er they are a new high school graduate or an A few simple steps before you go to college can help make sure you do well when you get there. adult learner returning to the classroom,” said Jennifer Fletcher, Ph.D., graduates than any other growth, unless they are programs, Udemy, the best ways to manage are all things students program dean for general nation by 2020.

Summer is a season of relax- ation, especially for school- aged children who are not yet old enough to work. Such youngsters no doubt enjoy the chance to spend summer days lounging poolside or at the beach, all without a care in the world or any homework to complete. Though summer is synon- ymous with R&R, parents of young athletes who hope to compete in scholastic athletics when the school year begins in autumn may need to take steps to ensure their kids aren’t at risk of injury once the curtain comes up on fall sports season. • Examine and replace equip- ment if necessary. The right equipment can protect kids from injury and help them real- ize their full athletic potential. But damaged or outdated equip- ment can increase kids’ risk of injury. Examine kids’ equip- ment long before fall sports sea- son begins so you have time to bargain hunt should anything need to be replaced. • Schedule a physical for your child. Many school districts mandate that athletes receive and pass physicals before they can compete. Speak with the athletic director at your child’s school to learn the guidelines that govern athletic physicals. The physical will need to be conducted by a predetermined date, but you may also need the physical to be conducted after a certain date for it to be considered valid.
