[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I favor kids being academically prepared to go to the next grade. At the junior high level it's hard to begin to demand this. [/quote] So the alternative is what?[/quote] It's called "meeting them where they are" and finding an academic pathway to a HS diploma. Just because a student isn't going to take AP classes doesn't mean they're not worth educating or don't deserve a HS diploma. A public charter school doesn't get to say "we'll only take the wheat thank-you-very-much, the chaff needs to be sent back to their neighborhood school."[/quote] The goal should not be a high school diploma. It should be an education. We already have too many worthless diplomas in this city.[/quote]
