  • Horatio Alger Association's "The State of Our Nation's Youth, 2001-2002"
  • Horatio Alger Association's "The State of Our Nation's Youth, 2000-2001"

      The State of Our Nation's Youth analyzes the varying types and levels of family and peer support American youth receive, their outlook on numerous issues from education to social attitudes, and what these students see as the biggest obstacles in their lives as opposed to obstacles perceived by adults and educators. Educators are encouraged to use this valuable tool for understanding the concerns and opinions of their students at the beginning of each school year.
