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.
Pathetic future
How dare you say there’s such a thing as failing! Many schools have done away with failing grades. No one gets a D or F as it might hurt their widdle feelers. So, why try at all? If you don’t learn failure as a kid, you’re going to get it slapped against your face throughout adulthood. If you don’t learn the satisfaction of success as a kid, you’re going be a failure as an adult. But, hey, lets give everyone a participation ribbon. It’s the same mentality as paying burger flippers $15/hr.
Texas state universities give valedictorians and salutatorians free tuition. Guess this gets the universities off the hook for that money.
San Antonio = failed illegals get to walk across border and the stage.
