Just draft them into the military and ORDER them to get their GED. Officers can do the teaching at any base in the world.

These are all high school graduates that can not qualify to take college level courses. The colleges accept them then put them in remedial classes to try to bring them up to a minimum ability. These remedial classes do not count toward graduation, and carry no course credits that will transfer to other colleges.

Back in the day, these students would never have been accepted by a college, they would have to go to a college prep school first, then pass entrance exams to go to college. But now, politicians are enamored with the “everyone should go to college” idea.

Hubby was a Air Electronics Tech SCPO, taught computer/electronics both in the Navy and then 20 yrs at S.W. State Tech Jr College. All his Memphis students were given their A/B grades, when they hit his class they had to do remedial Math first, as they didn’t have the basics required for it. Many dropped out. And he is a good patient teacher. Still teaches Ham Radio math for Extra Class @ 77.

Just handing out unearned grades does not improve education!
