In this qualitative study, the authors describe narratives of school experiences of Latina/o early school leavers, examine their reasons for leaving school before graduating, and analyze their responses using the resistance model. In addition, the authors compare the participants' reasons for leaving school with data from the Clark County School District's 2007 Dropout Survey Report. They conclude that the most salient issues discussed by Latina/o early school leavers are discrimination and racial microaggressions.
