The rule should be only the folks who end up with these “graduates” in their workforce can comment, because parents overestimate their little snowflakes’ intelligence. Most of these kids can barely read, so I have no clue how they’re graduating from the 8th grade, let alone high school. It’s an embarrassment.

Police departments will never change for the better if they don’t recruit genuinely good people who care about others and the communities they serve.
Take the leap, and be a “good one,” that influences many others to also be good. Then maybe we’ll have a collection of GREAT departments.

His comment was racist as hell, but the schools here (overall) really do stink. Hard to keep enough teachers in the district (I mean, in ANY US school district) with such low pay, low numbers, and growing/unreasonable expectations. Teachers aren’t valued enough, and it’s really not their fault these kids are failing. It’s the political school administrators and the parents who are to blame.
