Private schools and home schooling are very popular here. Schools are too busy teaching to the ones making the lowest grades instead of bringing them up higher. I am 69 and when I went to school, grades mattered. If we did not make it, then we failed. That should happen again. Of course, I went to school in the good ole days. A few years ago, my granddaughter hated high school and wanted to quit. My daughter talked to the counselor and she suggested my gd take the GED which she did and made the highest grade ever. She was bored with school.
With grade inflation...
