Unfortunately, the standards are being lowered to meet the level of the kids instead of raising up the kids to meet the standards.
It's really sickening to think that public schools CAN'T leave a bunch of kids back a grade because the classes are ALL too crowded, so they promote them just so there will be enough space for all the students. Of those that make it to college, many spend Freshman Year in remedial classes learning what they should have in high school.
