No Child Left Behind programs were the start of the downfall. Back in my day we had different class programs for advanced students and for kids that were behind... Now they just keep everyone in one class and dumb it down until everyone passes. They even make modified diploma programs. At this point when I am hiring for one of our basic positions I MUCH prefer seeing someone with a GED, that still demonstrates that you accomplished something. A diploma just shows you attended class enough to meet requirements.

Sure, you accomplished proving that you can read four paragraphs and understand what they mean. In other words, that you are not dumber than the average ten year old.

Putting the cart before the horse again, huh? Not holding them accountable through social promotion is why they can't read or do math.
