Re: NCLB
Posted by Rodeo on 5/16/08

    The poster who thinks students who have been failed should just be
    passed by the principal against the teacher's objections should be
    stripped of their right to be a teacher or a principal. If a student
    does not meet the requirements of a course, then that student's
    second chance should be the chance to retake the course and graduate
    late, not to just be passed with a magic wave of the principal's
    totalitarian wand.

    Students who go to these types of schools with principals who pass
    them when the teacher failed them are being done a huge disservice.
    These students are taught that there are no consequences in life for
    poor work ethic, misbehavior, not doing what they should, doing what
    they should not, etc. These students will be far more likely to
    flunk out of college, lose jobs, go to jail and so on because they
    have been taught by people like Swilley that they will not be held
    accountable for their actions or inactions. That is a travesty.
