Can definitely confirm this. My mother complains constantly about retarded teachers who just pass kids. But this has been going on for up on at least 40 years now. See Stand and Deliver for more details.

I disagree with racist bullshit, but yes, shit like common core and cross-cultural grading and participation grading standards ruin kids. A, B, C, D, F works just fine. Met plenty of Mexican kids whose dads would literally beat them in the parking lot after school if their report cards had bad grades, because damned if they had swam across the Rio Grande and spent their life as a landscaper to have their kid grow up to be retarded. As far as I am concerned, you don't need to do anything. Let the kids go to school equally and let the social situation play itself out. Some kids are just natural idiots, others are geniuses, and teachers should focus most of their time trying to get the smart kids off to good schools, and help the average kids rise up. The rest can wither and die in the corner while they play rap songs or do their makeup. That's what they did with the dumb kids at my school. Put them with bad teachers who didn't care and let them flounder.

I used to despise private schools until I became a moderately successful adult. I see why parents send their kids. The kids at private schools, hell, even charter schools or parochial schools, have better manners and don't dress like retards and are more cultured.
