YUP....it's called inclusion or no child left behind. Pure BS. It has ruined many kids up here as well since it teaches you can be a total slacker and a failure and still get a trophy and be a winner.
You mean 1500 watts OUTPUT. Does not matter what your input to the finals is. I can run 2250 OUTPUT up here.
There is a lot of pressure on the schools to close the achievement gap. So naturally people think "they are going to bring the low kids up". Unfortunately it is much easier to bring the top kids down. My wife is a school teacher, I could stand on this soap box all day.
It also keeps the failure of public school system from showing the actual numbers of deficit knowledge learned or earned. Remember when we had 21 year olds still in high school? The kid had to repeat grades until passed. Then it really showed a failed school system, but now if you remove or "move" the numbers around with creative math, not that common core stuff, it brings the competency rate up. But unfortunately, the kids loose.
Must be hard being a good teacher these days and having such a de-grading curve.
My wife has been teaching 7th grade special ed for the past 20 years. The public school system is so broken in so many ways it is shameful.
They have DUMBED the schools down so much in Kentucky that a diploma is just a participation certificate. Now any job worthwhile requires at least two years of college.
I don't know how this applies to the FCC but...
I guess in a way, the child then CHOOSES to be left behind - not the other way around.
To put it succinctly. The Child needs to be taught responsibility - not just how to do chores or things other people asked them to do. They need to think for themselves and that starts at home - with teaching responsibility, discipline and accountability - all really fall onto the parents and their responsibility to raise the child.
Somehow the system failed the parents, and the parents can't keep up.

What? abolishing the 155.3-mile distance limit wasn't good enough for you ?
Take the test. Have fun with that bandwidth.
Doesn't mean you have to leave CB.
I never did.
Oh yeah . If you can't take a joke ....
I would actually say that the parents have failed the system due to lack of parenting and teaching the values. It is not the schools duty to raise the child and teach moral values. The children need to be disciplined and raised to respect authority and other peoples rights.
Responsibility for their actions or lack of it still rest on their upbringing.
When both parents are required to hold down several jobs to make ends meet, parenting can no longer be a priority. With today’s economy, couples shouldn’t even consider having kids unless they are financially capable of sustaining at least one full time disciplinarian at home. Gone are the days of the common family farm. Gone are the days when the average man made enough money, so the wife could watch over the kids. Those family freedoms were lost years ago. Anybody win the Mega Millions yet?
