RE: Social Promotion
Why not just admit that public education is a failure and move on? Why are
we, as a society, so fixated on public education as the only solution for
educating our kids?
I was going to rant on social promotion, but the failure is really
continuing funding of public schools.
My argument was going to be that social promotion devalues a high school
diploma, but how much less value can a diploma have? All having one means is
you sat still and turned off your brain for 12 years. If the schools want to
hand them out to illiterate young adults, well, so be it.
