Whats wrong with Education these days..
Well this is something that has been on my mind for awhile. My husbands little sister came home from school with a sheet of paper that had all her assignments listed for the whole year ( this was right before her summer vacation). It was to show the parents what needs to be turned in. I couldn't believe it. She had over 100 assignments and about 30 were missing. The rest had the score of less then 30 out of 100. I remember when I was in grade school and less then 50 was a failure and there was no second chance, only make up work. I even remember getting an incomplete. Well anyways she moved on to the 6th grade. I asked her mom what this was about and she said that even in high school kids no longer got held back for not doing anything. She told me that after your last year in high school you take a test and you either pass or fail.
This was not at all how it was when I was in school. Is this how it is everywhere now a days? Or does it depend in the school district? Now I know that parents are responsible for there kids education and need to help them learn. But what about the teachers, why are the standards so low now? Maybe I have just been misinformed. I don't know anymore.
