[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean think of it like this: where else can you fail at something and still be promoted and moved on as if nothing happened? At your job? In college? Driving test?

Do you seriously believe that these students are going to college?  Social promotion is about keeping them from becoming dropouts altogether.  Better to have an HS degree and a job at the post office than dealing drugs or stealing cars because you can't get any kind of legal job anywhere.[/quote]

Problem is that the job at the Post Office does not exist anymore.  There is a reason this is considered a national security risk. [/quote]

What?!  That's bullshit.  Where do you live that you can't get postal delivery?  I get crappy USPS delivery every single day.  Usually they're lazy and either deliver all of my mail to my tenant or vice versa.  My tenant is an English basement, so "mis-delivering" my mail allows them to not have to climb a half-flight of steps.

BTW, this is never a problem for Fedex or UPS (I've had to explain to my children that the handsome man in the brown truck is not "Black Santa").  We do love us some Amazon Prime.  ;)
