Before I get into my rant, I hope that you will all read the article and, in particular, the comments. I couldn't help but laugh reading through them.
I would really like to know if anyone actually believes that this crap means anything. It is about time that parents sit the fuck down and let teachers, and the education system, do their jobs properly.
I really don't think that it is important to graduate everyone. Hard work and dedication should be the only means to such a reward. I've spent years in the Ontario education system and have seen, firsthand, how society is being dummied down. Parents have to realize that when little Johnny doesn't get an A+, it is not the fault of the teacher, in most cases. Little Johnny has to be held accountable for his actions. That should be one of the most important lessons that he learns. Parents are not doing any good by defending their child in every instance. When little Johnny doesn't study, and doesn't care to, the result should reflect this. We should not adjust curriculum or adjust school policies to ensure that little Johnny graduates with exceptional grades. That's his responsibility. That's just the way I see it.
