Had an 8th grade public school teacher tell me he taught four academic classes of 25 kids.
Since the pandemic he says in two classes, 50 kids will make zero because they won't even turn in a test.
In a third class half will flunk and half will pass. His last class, all 25 will pass.
He gave any kid who turned in a blank paper with their name on it 50 points to start, so all they needed to pass was 20 more points.
And they still refused to even turn in the paper.
However, he is absolutely required to pass all 100 kids.
So getting off the bus in the 9th grade are 66% of the kids who have done absolutely nothing academically their 7th and 8th grade year. Nothing.
Now in high school they have to pass at least 23 credits, including four hours in English, Math, Science and Social Studies and 3 in foreign language etc plus 4 electives.
Seriously? After doing absolutely nothing in middle school?
There's no attendance requirement anymore (used to be if you missed 6 days, you had to go to summer school).
Amazingly, the high school (as all in Georgia) has a graduation rate of almost 90%.
And that's what public schools are judged on (graduation rates).
Tell me there's no graduation fraud in Georgia (and in the US).
It's an absolute joke.
