re: being told by the principal to pass a student who should've failed

I have nothing but contempt for teachers who didn't refuse. Teachers are supposed to be professionals. Sometimes that means putting the job on the line.

How'd I get around it? Arranging free tutoring during or after the school day for a failing student. If they showed up, I'm good enough at teaching math so they'd pass. If they didn't it, covered my *ss.

I didn’t need to see this article to tell me that our schools are failing. Time for a major overhaul.

The “teachers” are no more than a “brainwashed” product of the colleges and liberal professors. We need to start there first.
