Self-esteem

I work for a very smart man and his philosophy on student retention is “self esteem”. What he means by this is many students will create any excuse not to attend school and when you remove the barriers they still do not attend. He believes that the true reason they do not attend is their poor self-esteem. These students have esteem issues and have rarely finished anything. Our school is just another effort not completed. It is difficult to quantify his theory but I believe we have all seen it in action. Even more difficult is how to overcome it.
