[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I've known kids who immigrated to US from another country, had to learn another language, and support their family by taking jobs while they completed their degree. Due to circumstances, they missed school, had to take remedial classes, and squeaked through with the minimum graduation requirements, but they did it.

I also know kids from well-off families who pushed for every accommodation, credit for late assignments, test re-takes, a private tutors. Kid squeaked through with minimum graduation requirements, but they did it.

At the end of the day, a diploma from any high school only represents a certain threshold being crossed. These kids will proceed with life, and their combination of drive, talent, etc will be what determines the career opportunities they have. So no need for you to drag down a school... particularly when you are basing it off  random unrelated Tik Tok posts.[/quote]

Not the PP. Yes, there are kids out there like the ones you mention. But there are also kids who take advantage of the system, who could care less about education and who are part of the gang warfare. It's not all hard working immigrants and struggling children of privilege. [/quote]
