[QUOTE="OICWUTUDIDTHAR"]Then we'll start seeing more kids failing.drj077
Honestly...good.
When the entire bottom 5% or more of your class is failing classes, and yet, manages to still graduate, there is problem with the school system. Kids that fail classes, have behavioral issues, etc. simply can't cut it in private and public school systems. They should be immediately removed and allowed to enter a technical college or other method of schooling that teaches lifelong skill sets.
For too many years, mediocrity and poor school performance have been embraced and actually encouraged by school officials and parents (especially, the parents of these children). It needs to stop, because those same kids are preventing the establishment of more difficult and broad curriculae across America. The no child left behind bullcrap needs to stop.
It's this sort of compromising that has caused the degradation of modern society in terms of education. Many kids can barely spell without the aid of a computer spellcheck program. Even fewer children can adequately form satisfactory sentences in normal conversation. I see this all the time in the medical field with young adults entering medical school. Our testing standards are so low and the bar for success is so low, that literally idiots are succeeding in areas where only the true intelligentsia used to tread.
That is actualyl a great idea.
