“I say to the Senator from New Mexico I went to a high school that had a few hundred kids in it. I moved from a very small rural town in Nevada to what I thought was a very, very big high school. The size of that school today is insignificant compared to the size of the high schools in the metropolitan Reno-Las Vegas area. There are numerous Las Vegas high schools that have over 3,000 students. The Senator displayed a chart indicating the reasons kids drop out of school--failing, couldn't get along with teachers, didn't like school. Can you imagine how lost a person would feel coming from Searchlight, NV, which had 1 teacher teaching all 8 grades, to a school with over 3,000 kids? I think it would be easy not to like school, wouldn't the Senator think?”
