What people, and this teacher, forget about our "failing" education system is most children graduate high school, and graduation rates have been going up since the 1960s-1970s. Which contradicts her point, whatever it is.

It doesn't contradict her point. She mentions in the article that most of the kids in those schools graduate. She also points out that they're getting 12th-grade diplomas even though they have nothing more than a 7th-grade education.

We have a 4th grade reader text from 1911. Today it is college level reading material.
