DC Mayor Addresses How High School Grads All Got Diplomas Without Meeting Requirement
98% black. That average IQ of 68 is a killer.

jan 16 2018 Residents in Washington, D.C. are still baffled over how every single student at Ballou High School got their diploma, despite many of them not even showing up to class.
It wasn't just one school. Students across the city graduated despite having missed more than 30 days of school in a single course, findings from the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent investigation found. The investigation is still ongoing, but parents' demand for answers prompted city officials to share some initial findings.
The city wide audit came after an initial investigation by WAMU and NPR at Ballou, in which they discovered a high rate of unexcused absences.
An investigation by WAMU and NPR has found that Ballou High School's administration graduated dozens of students despite high rates of unexcused absences. We reviewed hundreds of pages of Ballou's attendance records, class rosters and emails after a district employee shared the private documents. Half of the graduates missed more than three months of school last year, unexcused. One in five students was absent more than present — missing more than 90 days of school.
To add insult to injury, the majority of Ballou’s 2017 graduates missed more than six weeks of school. One teacher recalls seeing kids in the 12th grade that couldn't read and write.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser tried to answer those questions at a press conference Tuesday.
“Our biggest responsibility is knowing that showing up half the time doesn’t work anywhere in life,” she said. "The huge investments we have made in our schools only work if students are sitting in the seats."

They are worthless whether you earn them or not. That is what happens when you THINK.

The participation trophy mentality.
Believe it or not, they and society will have to deal with many of them again. A piece of paper that says "Diploma" doesn't keep someone getting in this manner from being a piece of shit in life.

High school diplomas are worthless anyway as public education in this country is a complete fucking joke. All it does is teach you to memorize useless facts and regurgitate them on standardized tests.

Yet your fellow lefties keep pushing and pushing for more money to go to, wait for it, public education.

I don't remember ever pushing for that.

A left winger that doesn't support public education? That will be the day.Feel free to quote the post where I pushed for free public education. I'll wait.

Here's your chance. Are you saying less money should go to public education?
The next time you light up you will dishonor yourself.

Some people are lost causes. Failing them won't make them any less pieces of shit. At least the school system will be rid of them. Not everyone can be saved.

Passing them without having done what is necessary won't make them less of a piece of shit either. That's the point of my reference to a piece of paper being meaningless unless you actually did something worthwhile to deserve what it says you received.
I agree that not everyone can be saved. The logical question is why, when the ones that have indicated they can't or don't want to be, do we still waste money trying? I'm all for giving me chances. However, at some point, when they've shown they aren't interested, we should stop wasting the efforts, time, and money.
