Apparently, the high dropout rates in high school are causing problems all over the United States, and in most of the US territories. Take the North Pole for instance where the dropout rate amongst elves is nearly 22%. Santa Claus Inc. is having a very tough time with just over 20% of their workforce being illiterate. Mrs. Claus, the corporation's human resource director stated; "If the elves can't read the instructions, we are unable to keep up with our Six Sigma factory assembly line goals for 99.98% perfection."

The quality control factory manager said recently in an interview; "one of the great things about this 150-year-old company is that our quality is second to none. Both parents and children alike trust Santa Corp to deliver toys that are perfect, we don't want any parts falling off, or warranty issues." This has become quite a dilemma, the toys today are much more complicated than they were back when the company first started with Chris Kringle the first.

Today, Chris Kringle VII, CEO and chairman of the company said; "We are doing everything we can to fix the quality control issues and bring forth some TQM [total quality management], ISO 9000, and Six Sigma Black Belt initiatives into the factory." Still, even with these quality issues that companies record is 1500% better than the toys coming out of China, and the toy safety manager stated; "Our toys are perfectly safe and we do not use lead based paint!"

It appears that the "No Child Allowed to Advance," education programs are not working in the North Pole School District, especially when kids drop out of high school, before they learn how to read. Please consider all this.
