[QUOTE="DSG2003Mach1, post: 16587364, member: 16477"] sad situation all around... a few random thoughts on the subject 1) A lot of people end up having kids they flat out don't want. They have no vested interest in their success, they just want them to hit 18 and gtfo. 2) the level of ignorance in a lot communities is staggering, the parents couldn't help their kids with their school work if they wanted to. Frequently they're either working multiple minimum wage jobs to make end meet or off chasing their addictions. They just aren't around. 3) People are generally shitty. In Central Florida there's a website called progress book - any parent can log in and see their kid's attendance, grades, what assignments haven't been turned in etc...and yet a huge number of parents still come in at the end of the semester/year and genuinely have no idea they're kid is screwed. I would say the majority of parents contacted by teachers or school staff for parent-teacher conferences never respond. 4) schools want high graduation rates so they push em through assembly line style. You can't give a kid a zero anymore so long as they at least turn something in and even then they're typically allowed to turn everything in at the end of the year (also known as "grade recovery").
