To be fair, if these kids are entering colleges with a 3.0 GPA or higher... it’s not the kid’s fault. Once again, it is the school’s fault.

Thank your gov't schools for this great achievement despite increasing spending per student massively!

My son entered college with 35 credits from high school. I guess that’s the school’s success. Not all public schools are bad and low grades aren’t always because of the ‘school’. jmo

“Once again, it is the school’s fault.”

The parents factor in somewhere.....

You’re right, though lots of teachers face indifferent students and with today’s inflated grades anyone would be crazy to think a 3.0 represented a good level of mastery.

No, that is far far too impersonal.

Individual teachers and principals LIED to the student and his parents. Specific teachers ( real people) are LIARS!!!
