Here's a big reason why: City school officials let students retake finals, get diploma***Richardson said she was stunned when she attended the school's graduation ceremony this month and watched seniors she had failed walk across the stage, grinning.
"At least three of my students, I know their grades were changed," Richardson said. "When I attended the graduation ceremony ... I was absolutely astounded that these kids were in the graduation line because I knew for a fact that I hadn't passed them."
She said she has become so frustrated with the city schools that she is leaving to teach elsewhere. "It gives them the whole impression that somehow if they don't meet the standards, that someone will push them through," said Richardson, who had taught in the city for three years. "And that just doesn't happen in the real world." ***
thank you kind sir or ma'am.

You are welcome.
If the American people are so weak-minded as to be swayed by Lumpy's propaganda piece and toss out the President, then they deserve what they get. Me, I'll be hunkered down in the backyard bunker I'm building.
It's pretty bad when you have to entertain democrats
for TWO HOURS, just to get an $8 campaign donation.
BTW, it's NOT the number of theaters showig the film that's imortant..it;'s the number of fannies in the seats that counts..
"Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!"
We do need to be concerned about their ability to get out their base and beat the bushes for votes. These anti-American hits appeal to the brain dead and deadbeats.
Once their arguements are presented in a forum on equal grounds, they are demolished.
You simply can't beat the facts. The rats have to lie their way around them.
They are well endowed by the likes of Michael Moore who crawl out from under their rocks to produce such creations.
It's funny, but as time goes on, we are seeing more and more striking similarities between the Socialist Democrats and the National Socialists of 1930s-40s Germany.
It's pretty chilling to feel like we're watching the whole movement start all over again. They've already found their "Joseph Goebbels" in Michael Moore.
Yet, are we destined to repeat history here? One continual question I hear again and again is, "If all German's weren't complacent about the Nazi's, why didn't they do anything about them before they came to power?".
Well I ask you, what are we doing about it? Did the Germans do the same thing? Complain amongst each other? [so far I can say I've been openly debating such topics.] I'm not saying that we're not doing anything, simply asking the question...
Anyway, Cincinatus' Wife's posts always get me thinking...
I see the same thing... it's gone from opposition based on sort of principles or facts to bark-at-the-moon lunacy based on hate, pure hate. I just hope the average voter can see it, too.
( Consult tagline... )
Gee, all the TV ads I've seen for this movie clearly state that, "This movie has not yet been rated". And Michael Moore wouldn't lie, would he?
Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,....
That was very cute on the theater's part.
However, you can point out to them that the First Amendment only applies to the Government's actions.
While the First Amendment prohibits the the Government from arresting the theater owner for showing the film, the First Amendment does not take away the freedom of speech rights from those who want to point out that 'Fahrenheit 9/11' is nothing but propaganda designed to undermine the U.S. war effort.
Freedom of Speech works both ways.
The First Amendment also does not prohibit movie-goers outraged by such propaganda from taking their entrainment dollars elsewhere.
May I suggest a mail campaign to like-minded movie-goers urging a boycott of the theaters in question.
Free Markets also work both ways.
Only proves McCarthy was right....commies have infiltrated hollywood.
I guess that you two, like me, just don't know history, as the claim on this thread goes from one guy that it was far worse in older times.
Seriously, though, there has never been such an insane and hateful concerted onslaught against the president. I pray he makes it, but I fear for this next election. There are so many malinformed idiots out there.
That's not what Democrats said during impeachment...
