we hear about it all the time twiny...but parents nuh want to hear it sometimes.
also parents/admins/even teachers dont want to be involved with a school that has high (or even appears to have) failure rates.
i could go on...but it is all so depressing sometimes.
you know how many pickney tek di numerous state test daht clearly indicate the child is lacking in skill. ahn when you research it out...dem pass several courses that those skills were taught. many of the times...the teacher was under pressure to pass the kids (from whomever) and with an inflated grade even though the kid should have gotten a low grade or even failed.

Re: Got the report cards

i dont have kids so i dont know, kia.
you know how much ah dem been up to di school in the last month with:

&quot;i know joey failed english 9, 10, and is currently failing english 12...but graduation is next week. i will sue if you dont give him both courses in the next week so that he can pass and still walk the stage to get his diploma.&quot;

&quot;i realize that miranda failed every math class she ever took in her life. i realize that her state test says she failed, but it will tramatize her if she doesnt go to the next grade.&quot;

&quot;what do you mean this is a C paper. I <span style="text-decoration: line-through">wrote it myself</span> helped her with it. i will go to the superintendant of schools if you are insinuating thst <span style="text-decoration: line-through">i am</span> my child is a C student.&quot;

&quot;all of my kid's friends are in honors, advanced classes. you will scar my kid by not letting them in the honors/advanced classes. plus their friends will have a higher gpa than them. they wont get into college and it will be your fault.&quot;

&quot;the teacher hates my kid...therefore they were afraid to achieve and couldnt do well.&quot;

&quot;i know the assignment was due in september and it is now february. but since you never spoke to me directly...the emails (that i responded to) the letters, certified letters, and grade reports dont count...so my kids should be allowed to turn it in and get full credit for it when <span style="text-decoration: line-through">I do it</span> he/she does it.&quot;

&quot;expecting my child to repeat a course is damaging to their self esteem. i will sue after i come to the school everyday and follow the teachers home and write articles about them in the paper.&quot;

btw: none of these are made up... it becomes easier to just say, &quot;sure ma'am...whatever you say, sir...&quot;

Re: Got the report cards

children need to learn that there are consequences for action and that there are children rights, parents rights and then there are privileges.

Summer school was made for somebody...
tv and electronics and trips etc are privileges ... so pickney must know if them going learn trade or try academics.

Then they have the inflated grades and get into university to fail out
