Wow. reading skills just caught up with me. college freshmen who cannot write as well as high school freshmen used to, "back in the day".

Brought this thread up to my wife, who is one of the select few who takes her profession as a teacher very seriously. She pretty much completely agreed with the OP.
She spent the first 5 years of her teaching career in a Top 5 parish at the elementary level, we moved and she took a job at a Junior High School in a parish that is towards the middle of the pack in the state.
She said it is unbelievable how many 2nd chances, lowest grade dropped, participation grades and homework grades she is required to count as part of each students grade. We are simply enabling the lazy, unmotivated to be more unmotivated.

Hell my daughter got in the mid 20's on the ACT and she is in 7th grade. Straight A student but she studies and does homework 3-4 hours a night. It is 5-6 hours at high school. School is hard as hell. Kids are required now to write a novel before graduation and be fully bilingual. Typical Public school A-B students get those ACT scores as seniors. There are also huge variances between public schools. I think the average grade is a B now
