I think it needs to be said on a public platform. The teacher is not criticizing the students. They were actually critiquing the education system and parents.

Failing or being held back a grade is almost unheard of in the United States. It is only if a child has severe learning disabilities and low performance that a school will fail someone. But being held back isn't a bad thing. Children learn at different paces. Some children need more time on material than others. Sometimes, children held back in elementary or middle can catch up by the time they hit high school.

It first started with 'No Child Left Behind.' If a child did poorly, it was considered the school and teachers were bad, and funding was correlated to children's performance. So schools started inflating grades and passing students. While bad teachers do lead to bad grades - the policy completely ignored factors like family environment, income levels, school facilities, etc. Typically, schools with low-performing children need more funding.

But now the problem is exacerbated by helicopter parents who coddle their kids. Parents are throwing a fit if teachers recommend students for remedial classes. My child will feel left out if all their friends get to play in the yard while they have to take extra math lessons which is why you need to magically make my child better at math in a chaotic classroom because that's what you are supposed to do. Teachers don't get paid enough to deal with that shit and push children through to the next grade.

So that's what the teacher is rightly calling out. A broken system and helicopter parents which have resulted in kids in middle school having elementary school-level skills.

One of my friends brags about how good her child is at math and reading. And her child is ahead of the class. But I am like beesh, at that age even the slowest child in my classroom in India would have read a chapter while your kid reads a page. And I was in an SSC school. We would be duffers compared to CBSE and ICSE.

I watched two episodes of Sex Education S4 last night and am not feeling it. The new characters don't connect. I'm not a fan of Cavendish College, either. One of the most endearing elements of the show was teenagers exploring sexuality in a conservative, traditionalist British school. The conflict of old and new propelled the narrative. But an ultra-progressive and woke high school completely decimates the original plot point. And let me tell you - even the wokest of Gen Z is not above gossip. It is human nature, and teenage socialization thrives on it.

He ain't photobombing, not photobombing at all.. Unless they changed the definition recently

And nothing candid about this photo either imo

This is getting boring

In the state of Oregon students don’t have to prove they can read, write, or do math anymore.

High school students can graduate without any basics in the three Rs

Yeah he is supposed to be in public service so that’s why it is probably shorter .

Nah. The 5 week training is mandatory for everyone. Even the ones in public service. That is when they "graduate". Jin has had 3 batches graduate under him, the last one had the Team Leader (?) of the Kpop grp Winner.

But as I said, maybe they cut out some things due to the nature of his injury. If they have those drills where they have climb, crawl, shoot, he wont be able to do that. You need arm strength for that.

I am just guessing the drills based on the Army shows I have seen
