Finally rest? It’ll take a lifetime to clean up the mess.
Fake statistic. These students STILL can read or write any better than before. The “diploma” is just more social promotion.
I hate that site. It’s nothing but black, black, black all the time. Why don’t they just slap a “white privilege” penalty on the numbers for whites and be done with it. There, all equal now.
And when you don’t stop and frisk, the arrest rate goes down, to. Now that’s progress. Liberal style.
Closing Arguments Begin in Atlanta Test Cheating Trial

What's happened is that a lot less attention is spent on those average students, the ones who get Bs and Cs with no extra services. They get by. What you get might be that those students are less qualified for work or college, while more students meet minimum requirements. At the same time, the very top-tier (top 10% or so) is excellently qualified, perhaps with higher standards than in the past..
Is equalization and inclusion while bringing down the average good or bad? It's an open debate.
"So I become a miner instead.
They're not very rigorous the mining exams.
They only ask you one question. They ask:
"Who are you?"
I got 75% on that one."
That's because their parents got jobs, got married and had children, while the present generation has children, never gets married, and won't hold a job that interferes with the party life.
If it makes the authors feel any better, this is happening to the white population, too. Solidly middle-class people in their 60s and 70s have grandchildren or great-grandchildren born outside marriage, which means those children and their parents are headed down the socioeconomic ladder.
Yep, public school is a baby sitting service so the parents can sit at home and smoke pot and drink beer until the little minds filled with mush get home.
Hobbies, like work, are frowned upon.
My first thought is that a large portion of the increased number of graduations is because of the way that teachers are instructed to keep grades at or just above failing for the students. My two daughters have both been teaching 8th graders in two separate districts and were both told to change grades from failing to minimally passing - by the administrators of the schools.
Closing arguments started Monday in the trial of a dozen former Atlanta Public Schools educators accused of participating in a test cheating conspiracy that drew nationwide attention.
This is how they do it!
Ah, but can Johnny actually read?
Is there any connection to the Atlanta cheating scandal?
And it's going to take more than years period.
Pretty funny-
Reminds me of:
“Jun 28, 2013 - OOPS! Rachel Jeantel yesterday testifies she can’t read a cursive letter she supposedly wrote. It’s signed with her printed nickname. OOPS!””
AND this was the states STAR witness-
I am sure she is working for SEIU now
LOL
Can’t have that happening - they may begin to think and act like regular citizens. Let’s see what the Left does to “correct” this anomaly.
Exactly. I have a cousin whose daughter graduated from high school a couple of years ago. She kept telling me.. you need to read my book.. that she was writing on some notepad like website. So I did. It was painful. She could neither write nor spell. She couldn’t even have a continuing thought. It was pitiful. They had just given this gal a diploma.
Why, all we need now is another 40+yrs, a few more $Trillion, and the field will be level....Right?
Uh huh.
Tell me another one daddy! Oooppps, I probably shouldn’t say daddy.
