"Our analysis finds that graduating from high school in America's largest cities amounts, essentially, to a coin toss," the study said.,

Except you don't have control over the outcome of that coin toss. It's not like schools are saying that only the upper half gets to graduate. Everyone who meets the requirements will receive a diploma. That percentage could be 100% if everyone applied themselves.

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
my sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away
