Here in NYS it's called " No child left behind". Translation - move 'em up and out.

I have friends from college when I was in engineering, who both teach and she complains that the students give excuses for shoddy work, and her admin wants her to acquiesce . These are the next gen of building and bridge designers.

Visiting family in the SE last week, we were on a walk and one mentioned that the schools were not the greatest there, and if she has children she wants them in private school. Now she graduated from a university that has an education program, many of whom moved to this city to teach in gov't schools. I said, "what about homeschooling"? She said no, because they come out weird. Not wanting a fight on a walk, I gently asked for her evidence, but she just repeated her answer. Sorry, but where we're here in NYS, and since I'm retired from medicine and the military, I've offered to homeschool our grandchildren that are close by. I'm not sure I'd even send them to the charter school honors program I attended due to how the gov't school programs have devolved.
