Quote: We already have socialized k-12 education, boy that’s been a great success. 25% of Detroit kids graduating and suburban schools bragging about graduating 80%. I can’t think of many private schools with those kind of numbers.
Man that one hits home. We were told our older daughter wouldn't graduate because she didn't have enough credits. So we figured we had more time to try and get the school to do their job, not that we hadn't been trying. Well not long before graduation we find out they going to graduate her. We got told "Oh, we forgot to take into consideration her IEP so her adjusted grades gives her enough to graduate. Well she got her diploma and can't make change for a dollar and can't tell time on an analog clock! She was learning disabled, to talk to her you wouldn't know it but she has trouble with the concept of time and math. I was flippin'! but there was nothing I could do about it. Good example Larry. What good does it do to graduate kids that don't have the information? All it does is ensure funding for the gov't, other than that it helps no one and in the long run hurts our whole country.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
