Making grades meaningless so that everyone advances is doing a disservice to kids' education. (media.piefed.world)

They (public school) convinced us that they would take extra time with all the students after COVID. The school was fighting parents trying to hold back their kids. We did change their school to one of the charter schools and they are doing much better.

Yeah of course they're going to fight because they have rules from no child left behind that say they must graduate children or they don't get money. But we're 20 years into that now and parents have to realize this or their children will suffer. It's a personal family problem now. We can advocate for better public schooling in government and help our kids individually at the same time. Don't just wait for the system to fix itself before your kids get fixed.
