New Public School No Flunk Policy?!?!?!?!?

I was looking around wondering what to talk about to day and it didn't take me long to find a topic. On Fox news there is a video report about a new "No Flunk, Three chances to pass a test policy" in a town called Wyoming in Michigan. Basically if the student fails to pass the test the first time they get two more chances to pass it, the second time they can only get a maximum of 80%, the third time a 60%. Keep in mind this isn't for special education classes, it's for EVERYONE.

(There was no talk of whether a student who received less than an 70% but not quite failing, if they could retake it the second time to try to improve.)

Whiskry Tango Foxtrot OVER!!!! How is this policy fair to the student who worked hard, took the time to study, and/or prepare for the test? Also where is the accountability for the student who failed? Can someone please tell me how this is preparing the student for the rigorous college environment where if you fail, your out? Or the job market where not doing the job right the first time, or when it counts can get you well canned.

Its no wonder we are falling behind the rest of the world when it comes to preparing our children for college and giving them the tools we need for success.

Implementing Liberal school policies like this that do 3 things:

1. It teaches children its okay to fail. While its okay to teach a child that you can't will all the time, this is different from saying it is okay to fail!!! Also saying you'll always get a second chance just teaches children not to give their 100%. Well sorry but some of life's tests you don't get a second chance, and the only way to win/succeed is to give your 100%. How does this policy help prepare a child/student to eventually make these tough decisions?

2. Indoctrinates our young with the liberal beliefs:its okay its not your fault, it doesn't really count, and I'm going to give you anther do-over at an early aga. Indoctrination of a belief system to be most successful needs to begin at an early age. Ideals such as these or even worse more extreme (all must die) ideas if taught young enough become ingrained into who someone is whether these ideas have any real basis in truth/fact or not.

3. Help to dumb down the future middle/lower class Americans. I say this because most if not all upper-class Americans send their children to private schools, that put most public schools to shame. Basically helping to ensure the elitist attitude of the liberal rich because lets face it most of the education system in this country is being co-opted by the liberal left.

The public education system has been hijacked by the liberal far left. I think as parents and the general tax paying American its time to hold our local, city, state, and federal government responsible for our failing public education system. I know the Piggy is just over 6mo. old, so why am I complaining now for you ask? The reason is very simple: change in this country takes a long time so maybe if I get involved and start helping out now, you and I can might just be able to put a halt on any further hijacking and possibly even help reverse course so that by the time Piggy has reached school age, some of these problems have been corrected.


Ish.
