Ah yes, high school - where they cram two years of learning into four.

The “educators” have their heads up a dark place. Already, the “graduation” rates at community colleges (getting a 2 year “degree” or transferring to a 4-year college) are dismal (approx. 25%). Many of the community college students take “remedial” courses (essentially high school courses that never count toward any college degree). The graduation rate nationally for all colleges is about 50% (defined as a degree within 6 years). Only about 26% of adults over the age of 24 have a college degree. Less than 1% have an advanced degree (MS, MA, PhD, LLD, MD and so forth). The educators continue to fail at raising these rates. They are in a very dark place.
