You forgot to mention that educators are forced to give kids extra time, extra assignments, extra points, and if that doesn't work they are nearly forced by administration to give them a passing grade. The reason for this is Louisiana hands out more funds to passing schools and less to failing schools. If that wasn't the case teachers and administration could do their job as they should and that is to TEACH our children, instead of giving grades. That's the biggest cheat there is in education today.
