Theoretical Framework

Academic mediation theory, research has shown that poor academic

achievement is one of the strongest predictors of high school dropout. This theory

examines the mediation effect of poor academic achievement on other factors,

such as deviant affiliation, personal deviance, family socialization and structural

strains, associated with school dropout. Essentially, it looks at how poor academic

achievement interacts with and affects the relationship between high school

dropout and other factors. The model for this theory was shown to

Poor family socialization theory, the institution of family appears to very

formative for a developing child. As such, this theory examines the relationship

between family background and dropout rates. The relationship is not particularly

strong, pas academic achievement has much more of an influence than poor family

socialization. Factors of poor family socialization include low parental expectations

and a parent's lack of education.
