One for those who actually work hard at their education and the Affirmative Action diplomas for those who are not smart enough or do not work hard at all for their education. They think that them having a diploma will help them through life. How can someone complain that a test was made too hard for for people of color to pass. Just how do you do that? Someone please tell me.baymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535332985412316287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-6841134635693263452017-07-29T15:48:34.512-04:002017-07-29T15:48:34.512-04:00Another Ignorant move by the Government School Sys...Another Ignorant move by the Government School System. WHY on earth would you make 18 year old slackies remain in the school system to do nothing but cause trouble and recruit mush minds to join them. Teachers have enough problems because these failing schools are NOT allowed to discipline from K forward. So VERY Sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-80802196267704430972017-07-29T13:12:25.600-04:002017-07-29T13:12:25.600-04:00Looking at this from the compulsory education side...Looking at this from the compulsory education side is a nice thing.<br />But what might not be in capital letters is that the least that we can expect from this is that it is also a way to keep the nanny state's charges in mandatory confinement (i.e., government daycare with 2 to 3 meals every weekday for most) six or seven hours per day for two additional years. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-51907338215702050192017-07-29T12:50:44.028-04:002017-07-29T12:50:44.028-04:00Parting gift from O'Malley.

But common sense and eyes of teachers and students in the halls verify that those mandated to be in school against their wishes did not suddenly turn into productive students. This year promises a repeat.<br /><br />The school districts are complying with a law they didn't pass. Fie on O'Malley and his enablers.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-78661295390451117772017-07-29T12:26:57.284-04:002017-07-29T12:26:57.284-04:00We used to be freeWe used to be freeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-38041645164832639942017-07-29T12:22:41.934-04:002017-07-29T12:22:41.934-04:00Why on earth....If they are not learning, have no ...Why on earth....If they are not learning, have no desire to learn, constantly being disruptive, escalating their bad behavior to force schools to expel them, inhibiting other students right to learn, and all the other reasons not to do this, why would you force someone to be somewhere they clearly do not want to be?<br /><br />Maryland, you never cease to amaze me with your ridiculous laws. <br /><br />I haven't read the accompanying article, nor do I intend to, but unless you allow them to take a GED test and get their diploma before turning 18yoa, this is a disaster waiting to happen.<br /><br />I can appreciate what you are trying to do but, it will not succeed without a minimal effort on the part of the student. If they had that desire to make an effort, this new law wouldn't be necessary would it? <br /><br />It does have the potential to be a good thing and reverse certain bad trends but, and there's always a but, it is doomed from the start. I really hope I am proven wrong. <br /><br />When I first read this headline a routine by George Carlin immediately came to mind.<br /><br />They want OBEDIENT WORKERS. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passably accept all these increasingly sh__tier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-86988205922533668742017-07-29T10:54:58.231-04:002017-07-29T10:54:58.231-04:00Just gives gang members more time to recruit new m...Just gives gang members more time to recruit new members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-58247868811625362982017-07-29T10:17:37.444-04:002017-07-29T10:17:37.444-04:00If they were trouble makers for years and quit at...If they were trouble makers for years and quit at 16 that gives teachers two more years of their disrupting the classroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
