We need to stop promoting children who can't function in their current grade.

COL. CHARLIE?......
TEACHERS, Please Read & Comment:
We've All Heard About The Program Brought In During The Reagan Administration.
It's Referred To As The "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND Program..
Here Was It's INTENT: "The Other Students In The Class Will Help Bring Those Students Up Whom Are Having Difficulties... THEREFORE: This Student Will Learn With The Others & Pass The Subject Also.....
NOW: Here's What Actually MUST Happen To Make The Program Successful:
The Subject is Taught TO The Level Of The Rooms LEAST Capable Student.
Therefore GUARANTEEING The Student's Success With Passing The Subject. ...
Therefore NONE Learn Much, BUT The "PROGRAM" Is Declared To Be "SUCCESSFUL"..
Obviously A Politically Driven Program, Which Accomplishes Nothing At All.
EXCEPT To Push The Student Ahead To The Following Year...NO CHILD'S LEFT BEHIND".
P.S. I'm SO Glad I DROPPED OUT. Mid 9th Grade. What A Waste Of MY Time It Was.....
I'm Roughly 95% SELF EDUCATED; Thanks To My Enlistment In The USAF & The Business Programs Available Through U.S.A.F.I; NOW I Have a GREAT Education, In SPITE Of Our Public Schools...

VIC... Just From My Experience With Attending & Working In Our Schools,
I Honestly Believe The ENTIRE System Needs To Be Scrapped & Started All Over.
We Spend 13 YEARS In Public Schools & Graduate "QUALIFIED" To Do NOTHING .
Take A Look At What We Have, Then Ask Yourself;
" Upon Completion Of The 6th GRADE; What Did I Learn To Gain Employment, Or Even Add To My Making A Living"?...... And That's Where We Stand In Our 13 Years Of "Education"......
.Totally Unqualified To Actually Preform In Any Occupation....
And Our Colleges Don't Preform Any Better:

"How many college graduates actually work in the field they ...
http://www.answerparadise.net/how/how-many-college...
There is a myth that if you have a college degree, you have a job.
The fact is that approximately 53% of college graduates are unemployed or working in a job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s degree.
It takes the average college graduate three to six months to secure employment after graduation.Apr 9, 2021. Is someone with a college degree more likely to get a job? In March 2020, the employment rate was higher for those with higher levels of educational attainment.

SAD... Very Damned SAD

Barring some underlying medical condition or disability, the first place the parents of underperforming children should look is the mirror.

Is education and school performance valued in the home? How do kids get that message? It should not be by word that isn't backed up with action, particularly leadership by example. Are the parents active participants in their child's education, both at school and in the home? Let your kids see you read. Let your kids see you pursuing your own educational activities (professional or hobby) and include them. Be a student of all you do and your children will emulate you.

SFC Bernard Walko - ....
We Had An INTAKE Lady at Brinley MS, Where I Worked For A While.
As We'd Stand Around, Just To Watch Her Enroll The Students With Parents By Their Side,
To Let US Know Her Thoughts About The Parents & The Kids, She'd Adjust Here Glasses With Her HAND = " Pretty GOOD",
With Her Middle FINGER Pushing Against The Frame = "FA-KING Dumb".
