"4th quarter of my class?! What do you mean I'm 4th quarter of my class?!?! I need some Cheetos..."
The number of failing Black kids was an embarrassment to the Black community.
(So....just fake it!)
Snowflakes.
San Antonio is one of many districts in South Texas that has been letting failed students “walk the stage” for years. They receive the cheers of their families for achieving nothing. Pitiful.
The only thing that can bar a student from the ceremony is excessive absences, because the school district loses state money for every day a student is absent. Follow the money, as usual.
Yeah... because hard work and learning to be happy for others are terrible things to learn (rolling eyes).
Maybe they’ll be triggered to try harder.
"4th quarter of my class?! What do you mean I'm 4th quarter of my class?!?! I need some Cheetos..."
That is sad; they got to “play graduate” for a day.
Nowadays they’d just give them the real diploma. One unintended consequence of this mentality is that I view ANY credentials or work experience differently for “preferred minorities” (blacks, Hispanics, women) than I do those of white and Asian men.
“Snowflakes” are just the most recent manifestation of kid-glove treatment extended to others for decades...
So who will give the “entering the real world” speech at graduation, the class dope dealer, or some of the drunken male and female whores?
I still remember the press conference held by the doctors who performed BillBob's heart surgery (years ago).There were,IIRC,almost a dozen people at that table and I don't recall seeing a single one who wasn't white and male.
But then one or two might have been transgendered....
They shouldn’t drop it. They should draw straws for it. Then po’ peoples could be valedictorians, too.
Driving achievement underground until there are no more role models to aspire to. Recipe for a failing society.
My son’s private high school doesn’t even give a class rank anymore. I suspect because everyone is getting really good grades. My son is an average at best student and has all As.
What a joke. I’m so glad my younger son is homeschooled (I homeschooled the older through 5th grade and then it just wasn’t working anymore. Wish it did as I could do a better job than his $$$ school is.)
When does an end come to this non-sense? How long can these experiments go on before a total breakdown in society occurs?
It’s like the snowflakes have their own language with words like “triggered” and “micro-aggressions”. Doesn’t look like this crap will ever stop.
Maybe send the kids & the adults doing this to a country w/ starvation, killings & constant crime. I bet they find out what a real trigger is.
The millennial snowflakes are now educating the next generation to continue the downward spiral.
This what happens when we race to the bottom in instead of getting better.
This is the first generation already living worse than their parents.
Celebrating mediocrity.
I’m reminded of the old ad campaign (for the Mediocrity, of course):

Some schools have gone to using honors like the colleges: cum laude, magna cum laude,etc. There are still kids who do not make those groups. Also, I bet the kids know who was ranked top student.
