Yep, this guy passed just 3 classes in 4 years. And he basically ranked in the 50th percentile of his class.

58 student have a lower GPA than him.

it's true!

Article is filled with valuable tidbits...

quote:
“Why would he do three more years in school? He didn't fail, the school failed him. The school failed at their job. They failed. They failed, that's the problem here. They failed. They failed. He didn't deserve that.”

Actually be failed. A lot. All but 3 classes in 4 years.

quote:
She thought her oldest son was doing well because even though he failed most of his classes, he was being promoted. His transcripts show he failed Spanish I and Algebra I but was promoted to Spanish II and Algebra II. He also failed English II but was passed on to English III.

Yeah uh, nothing there makes sense. School let him move on even though he failed.

But the mother says he thought his son was doing well even though he failed most of his classes.

Well democrats going to Democrat...

quote:
Her son's records show in his first three years at Augusta Fells, he failed 22 classes and was late or absent 272 days.

3 years and failed 22 classes.

And missed 272 days of school. Kinda impressive.

quote:
In his four years at Augusta Fells, France’s son earned a GPA of 0.13. He only passed three classes, but his transcripts show his class rank is 62 out of 120. This means, nearly half his classmates, 58 of them, have a 0.13 grade point average or lower.

You literally can't make this up. This is what happens to public schools.

Teachers unions baby!

quote:
He's a good kid. He didn't deserve that. Where's the mentors? Where is the help for him? I hate that this is happening to my child,” said France.

Perhaps he was supposed to meet with his mentor but he cut school that day.

I hate it happens to any child but passing this school had to be laughably easy.

And yet...

quote:
He feels embarrassed, he feels like a failure,” France said of her son. “I'm like, you can't feel like that. And you have to be strong and you got to keep fighting. Life is about fighting. Things happen, but you got to keep fighting. And he's willing, he's trying, but who would he turn to when the people that's supposed to help him is not? Who do he turn to?”

He feels like a failure?

I mean in his first 3 years he failed 22 classes. I mean why would you imagine he feels like a failure?

What is he supposed to do? Oh I don't know. Go to school and pay attention a small bit.

quote:
France has pulled her son out of Augusta Fells. He’s now enrolled in an accelerated school program at Francis M. Wood in west Baltimore. If her son works hard, he could graduate by 2023.

I just want to draw your attention to this little piece of amazing writing...

quote:
M. Wood in west Baltimore. If her son works hard

Let me see. He failed 22 classes in 3 years and cut school 272 days. I'm gonna guess no.

This is just democrats in action. Bad policies lead to bad outcomes which lead to worse policies which, well you get the idea.

I remember a song, the future's so bright I gotta wear shades. I think it was in the 80s.

Hearing this made me think of this song.

And for the half of his class who had a lower GPA...
