Well it WAS the test's fault. The English should have been Ebonics and the math should have accepted 2 x 2 = 5 (close enough).

Exactly. Public schools, with rare exception, are a costly waste of resources. They churn out hordes of functionally illiterate druids yearly for the fast food industry. Sure the test "discriminates" against them- they're stupid. They are given 5 chances to pass, and they still fail? What where they doing for four years? Someone failed them by not teaching them the simple rule that the world does NOT owe them a living, that success requires at least minimal effort and some personal responsibility. They proudly carry on the tradition of welfare "helplessness" , and we'll probably have to support these shameless/prideless parasites for the rest of their lives. Sorry, but willful ignorance doesn't wash with me.
