School District Drops 'D' Grades

Students in one New Jersey school district will no longer be able to squeak by in class after the Morris County School Board approved dropping the D grade. Beginning in the fall students who don't get a C or higher will get an F on their report card. "I'm tired of kids coming to school and not learning and getting credit for it," said Superintendent Larrie Reynolds in a Daily Record report.

Point it at the parents who do nothing to help or encourage their kids and expect the schools to make up for the daily 4+ hours of TV and gaming that the kids get.

Yeah, because the schools only have the children for 6 to 8 hours per day to educate them. What they are being paid to do and are ostensibly trained and qualified to do. No, better to blame the parents that have to work 2 jobs to keep food on the table that they are not spending enough time teaching their kids in the 1 to 2 hours they get to see them each day that doesn't involve sleep. TEACHERS AND THE TEACHING PROFESSION ARE COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT! Teachers are the whiniest most ill performing of any professsion. They consistently fail to make a difference. The kids that learn would've learned without their useless help anyway. The ones who struggle, struggle and are written off as being lazy, stupid, or the result of poor parenting. FUCK TEACHERS, THE SCHOOLS, AND ALL THEIR SUPPORTERS. Those who can do, those who can't teach, those who can't teach teach teachers!
