This is an outrage.What kind of racism are they practicing out in Cleveland? So the kids in question wouldn’t be able to read their diplomas.Why is this a problem?

Newsflash to the Cleveland Public Schools:

95% of that 43% aren’t gonna graduate no matter how much money you pump in the schools. Why? BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DON’T GIVE A RATS A$$! Why? Because they grew up in households where Dad wasn’t around, and Mom’s a whore with a new man every week who snorts coke. She makes a few bucks dancing in bars, and never instills any sense of value in her children.

THAT is the problem with schools. Well, that and the insane liberal teaching methods, but that, honestly, is a different subject. My comments above outline the difference in graduation rates between districts and between urban and suburban environments.

Good - at least, they’re trying to get them to go back and try to learn something.

That means nearly 13-hundred of three-thousand seniors failed to pass one or more sections of the five-part state exam.

This is because there are no questions about 'An Inconvenient Truth' or text messaging on the state exam.

IIRC, Cleveland is one of the districts still using "whole language" instead of phonics.

It's no shock that Councilwoman Fanny Lewis, typically a far-left gadfly, is one of the nation's most outspoken vouchers advocates. The teachers union debaters are scared modell-less of her.

I totally disagree with this story!!!! There is no way this side of hell that only 43% are flunking. Cleveland is a waste of land use.
