No, what this means is that the government will decide who will continue on in school and who will be left behind. Are you really comfortable with that? Kids in good school districts will continue, kids in crappy school districts, well.. you know.
I am a Adult Education/GED instructor. I’ve seen and heard a lot of sad stories from my students. The one that moved me the most was a young man who came to me to help him because he hadn’t passed the ASVAB exam to enter the military. He had a diploma from a public high school and a 2 year certificate from the vocational/technical school.
As I tried to help him with the questions, it became apparent that he could not answer the questions because he could not read the questions.
This young man wanted to enter the Army. This should be an achievable goal for any average high school graduate. The fact that he was GIVEN his diploma and certificate without the necessary education, he cannot not achieve this goal and his dream of being a soldier cannot come true. So, so sad.
