Google how many high school students in your town and state graduated. In Dallas 2018, 76.5% graduated. Statewide 22% of students dropped out last year. That is disgusting.

(14,124 posts)Why do you think DeVos was appointed Sec of Ed. They want to drop out,... let them drop out. Fascists want to eliminate the minimum wage. Let the high school drop outs work for the new sub minimum wage.
If they struggle to make ends meet and turn to drugs or crime,.. lock them up in jail. It only costs the tax payer $30,000.00/year to lock someone up in prison. The rich pay no taxes,.. the middle class and poor pay for the jails and prisons. The rich invest in and are rewarded handsomely with investments into privatized jails and prisons. Your wallet gets fucked from both ends.

(12,265 posts)has deteriorated in the last 25 years in states like ours. Twice as many students need remedial math, science and english. It has been terrifying to watch , not to mention deal with.
The students are not to blame, it is their parents who do not value education. Parents who listen to Rush and believe that education turns their kids into liberals who no longer share their values.
Everything wrong with our country can be traced back to right wing media.
