How about the blame the teachers and the teachers union first?
How embarrassing, for everyone at that school.
The admin. should resign or be fired, including the superintendent.
That said, surely, some of these students themselves must have known that they didn’t know...anything!
They can pretend to have been cheated, but out of what?
Their families didn’t dig any deeper either.
Parents are ultimately responsible for the edumacation of their kids.
No shortage of blame to go around here.
There is like 1 white guy in the administration staff picture.
Flunk out 28 of the 33 in time and they’d had a 100% graduation rate. Pathetic cowards.
Who cares if they fail all their courses? Send them to Harvard. GIGO there.
Ever been to Marlin, Texas? Its nearby cousin is Calvert, Texas.
Both are leavings of the King Cotton days of the Brazos River Valley.
Anyine with half a brain can see that the school board is run by Grocho Marx. "we need the move more product? I know! we'll just give it away"
Declare every student an honor roll grad and Just mail the damn diplomas.
Throw in a harvard PhD with the H.S. diploma and really make some news!
Marlin ISD Superintendent Darryl Henson could be Obama’s son.
I bet everything will be ok in June and teachers etc will be praised as heros.
Simple...
Cancel the ceremony...
Mail the 5 kids their diplomas...
Mail the other 28 students letters detailing registration for 12 grade next fall...
Next issue!
No word about the curriculums that the teachers pushed* and defended against EVERY parent who told them that the curriculums didn’t work.
*including Whole Language reading (now called “sight words”) and calculators in Math class.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
And the rest of us know that it's the fault of the education establishment. We blame the teachers, curriculum, and administration.
“ after the district had already announced a four-day school week aimed at increasing attendance.”
It sounds like the parents are real prize winners if this was done.

Wonder why TEA hasn’t taken this school district over like they did HISD.
“Students are always busy doing school walkouts and protests these days when they’re not busy deciding whether they want to change their “designated” gonads that they were issued in the hospital when they were born. Trannyism is “wildly popular” these days. There is no time for educational stuff. Real sickos.
If a professional coach only won 15% of their games…would they be working the next season?
They all aced CRT and Acceptance & Diversity.
To be fair, it was only math, reading, writing and science classes that they failed.
Show some compassion.
