That is amazing. And the worst part is they are all failing. One kid graduated near the top half of his class with a 0.13 GPA.

Now that it has gotten some bad press maybe is will be looked into, but it will just slip back unless there is a change attitude with the higher ups - and the public in general.

My point is we can't keep saying "aw, those are just inter city schools" and ignore them. We - the public - need to realize that public school education has to be a priority.

And it's easy to say all that. But if we don't turn that around, at least incrementally and pretty soon, it will be irretrievable (hoping it's not there already).
