[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was just a report on schools closing because too many people are switching out of public schools. In addition to the groups mentioned then, there is an entire group that is no longer participating in public grades in society. I do not think that the 75% of parents who do not care about anything is a strength. I think the 20% of parents who care and want something reasonable probably speak better for the group that has left the school system and that other 75% doesn't care either way, so why is anyone catering to them?

No, they just respect the teachers as professionals when it comes to grading.  And they realize that their kids are judged within the context of their own school, so it doesn't particularly matter when it comes to college admissions.[/quote]

No, they are checked out and interested in other things. Usually, popularity, fun, and sports. The US is increasingly getting dumber. [/quote]

Sometimes also jobs. Or substance abuse. There are many people who just go to school to graduate and get out in the world thinking that is actually where they learn or what they want to do with their time. Very few in the US actually interested in academics.[/quote]
