‘The United States has reached a tipping point: The damage done to schoolchildren with scarce resources is likely to be irreparable.’
As report cards begin to roll out for fall, public schools across the nation are reporting a massive increase in children failing classes, due to the majority going online and the chaos of rolling COVID closures. In Fairfax, Virginia, one of the nation’s largest districts, “the percentage of middle school and high school students earning F’s in at least two classes jumped by 83 percent: from 6 percent to 11 percent,” the Washington Post reported Tuesday. That’s nearly 10,000 children.
Saint Paul, Minnesota, reported recently that 40 percent of high school students are failing, “about double what we might expect in a typical year,” said the large district’s superintendent. It’s even worse for younger children.
How about taking responsibility for your kids. I know its a crazy idea. Stop leaving the government to control your lives.
Responsible parents wouldn’t have their kid attending a public cesspool (school).
Oh, bullshit. When they go to public school they get more indoctrination than anything. The good kids will learn regardless, without all the interruptions from the thugs. Let the dumb a$$ ones fall behind. The schools don’t care anyway. They push them thru. Build more private schools, and charge so the thugs can’t get in. Screw public education.
