[quote=Anonymous]I didn't get it together until 9th/10th grade and went on to grad school. My sis got it together in college. Public school doesn't need to be either taking 20 APs or illiterate. I think there are several issues: -Passing kids along no matter their mastery of content means it's impossible for those kids to do well in HS -Least restrictive environment should mean least restrictive appropriate environment. Kids who are barely verbal, need 1 on 1 , or a threat to others do not belong in gen ed. It's not fair to the teachers or other students. -Bring back some semblance of discipline -Stop suggesting trades for kids who are not motivated. Many trades still require a good grasp of HS content. You want an electrician who doesn't understand basic math and science? Or a plumber who doesn't show up? Trades to me just mean a different skill set than college. [/quote]
