[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you rather have 3500+ poor mostly black and Latino not get their diploma and be released on the streets? Most wouldn’t come back (they didn’t really go in the first place).

Take you pick a small city worth of kids who will fail before they start or a small city worth of kids who at least have the paperwork to go get entry level minimum wage jobs that might lead to a sustainable existence not in jail or in extreme poverty.

Those are the only two options, pick[/quote]
Ugh. I mean, if we’re going by the logic of...well...they didn’t meet any requirements put forth to graduate but they’re doomed if they don’t...why even have requirements at all? [/quote]

Do DC high schools really have “requirements” ? This whole issue is basically about some DC administration decisions made that is was better to water down the diplomas so that the poor kids could get one by just staying enrolled. Better to have them out there with something opposed to nothing. Put the emphasis on ward 3 families to do APs to show colleges that they are the normal DC residents. [/quote]
