| Over
the past few years, I have heard multiple people talking about how
"difficult" the public schools can be on children, and I
personally gravely disagree. I think the expectation level has
dropped severely in this and many other areas. I personally
think that the schools in this area are quite lax on students, and
really expect students to produce a sub-par mentality. Last I
heard, they are offering "Area High School Diplomas"
free with a fill-up at the Texaco down the street.
Here is an example of public school expectations. We were assigned to write a 6-7 sentence paragraph justifying whether or whether not society can function without laws. I wrote down the assignment, but absent-mindedly forgot to complete the assignment. When we were asked to pass our homework in, I simply wrote "No." (carefully minding my capitalization and punctuation). Here is the results of my laziness. I blatantly didn't follow the instructions of my homework and yet received a 60% grade (which was a passing grade in that class). Do you still wish to argue the competency of public schools?!?!
