March 10, 20214 yr No sheet and basically a situation that is everyone's fault including the parent. How are you late or absent 272 times and passed on? How do you not even bother to look at a report card for three years? Sahweet Jebus lol.

She doesn't look at a single report card in 4 years and then says the school failed him. No, lady, YOU failed him. He's YOUR son!
March 10, 20214 yr I actually agree with her (to a certain extent) that the school failed him. Why are they putting him in the next class up if he never earned the credits in the lower level class? That’s really dumb.
March 10, 20214 yr Sounds like everyone failed him. Including himself. The school is self explanatory. The mom obviously never looks at a report card, and the kid himself at high school ages should be responsible enough to show up on time, or at all.
March 10, 20214 yr While they are all to blame the parent is ultimately responsible. The bottom line is that parents are lead responsible for their minor children in the US until such time as we take the leftist leap and decide the state has prime responsibility.

Because, at some point, "social promotion" went from being a concept to the law of the land. Now, it's at the point where you can't fail a kid without fending off parents, lawyers, politicians, and the woke mob. Schools would rather not deal with the fallout.
March 10, 20214 yr I bet there’s a lot more to this than we see in the news story, but if I had to guess the parent doesn’t have their contact info on file at the school. 1) She didn’t know he was failing 2) She didn’t know he had all those absences / tardies Or the school doesn’t care and no one does their jobs...

You basically can't discipline a kid anymore or show them "tough lough" as an educator, especially if you're not tenured, but even if you are, the repercussions from entitled parents and the system that encourages them just isn't worth the personal anguish. The dynamics have been forcefully shifted towards giving the kids and parents primacy over the assessment process.
March 10, 20214 yr If this kid is really 62/120 in the class, how much work must the admin be doing daily to try to contact the parents on a regular basis? I’d imagine it’d be overwhelming. Everyone failed this kid (including the kid).

Speaking for myself, if I had a kid in school and wasn't getting any contact for a month or so I'd reach to see what was going on. I'm guessing you'd do the same, correct?

March 10, 20214 yr The government will probably give the teachers a raise, because obviously they can’t be expected to teach well on such low salaries
