Keep it Classy, Texas: Encourage Dropping Out!

All of your students can’t pass statewide assessments? Ask them to drop out and register for online high school:

Canutillo High school seniors who failed the standardized TAKS test and missed graduation last month were asked by administrators to withdraw from the public district and obtain their diplomas from an online high school.

Canutillo school board members authorized district officials to approach 17 students who had completed all classes needed to graduate but had not passed at least one part of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test.

As long as they understand the role of Phyllis Schlafly, all is well in the world.

    Well, I think the students who don’t want to be there should drop out. It would improve the learning experience for those who do, and quite probably improve the lives of teachers who don’t want to try to squeeze blood out of a turnip.

    Also, dropping out and doing “online high school” could free students who feel that they have more fruitful things to do with their time than go to prison everyday.
