[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be sometime of modified high school diploma that a kid who does some work but does not meet all requirements can obtain.  Kids with 47 unexcused absences who fail to make them up in summer school should not be receiving the same diploma as their peers that didn't skip all their classes. Teachers should not be pressured to pass kids along and should start giving Fs if the kid is actually failing.

Right now all the faux diplomas in MCPS are ONLY helping the administrators appear that they are serving lower performing kids by achieving high graduation numbers. [/quote]

Agree DCPS has a similar issue.  Graduation numbers are the latest scam statistic across the country

We are giving diplomas to people who can't even read the diploma in some cases

And again when students hit the real world and get fired for not showing up or being capable of doing basic tasks we only have ourselves to blame

Theses education gaps need to be addressed earlier ideally even before birth through better parenting classes for folks

Social promotion helps no one[/quote]

It helps no one but it is not something really that serious.

Nowadays, a HS diploma means nothing. If someone only has a HS diploma, people know what to expect.

If they go to college, the colleges would bare responsibility of training them more. The HS is only an experience preparing them for the next stage of their lives. If they did not take that experience seriously, that is their own choice. Having a HS diploma or not, does not matter that much.
