[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 810358, member: 3306"] I know that some of the kids on the honor roll are taking remedial classes and some are special education students, so I suspect that's part of the inflated rolls. And I suspect a dummying down of curriculum. I don't think that social promotion exists. Around here, we try to get them caught up and get them graduated. You have to have, what is it now? 26 credits to graduate. If you don't earn those with your peers, you have to do credit recovery classes. I'm sure that some of those numbers are inflating the honor rolls, as well. In a semester or two you can earn back all the credits you failed to make, and graduate with your class or even early. Is that fair? Maybe not, but those kids arent college bound anyway. And some of them are the kids you don't want in class with your kid. I guess it all evens out. [/QUOTE]
