Its more like 50% after the umteenth time. My kids passed in the 9th grade, thats the HIGH SCHOOL exit exam. So you only have to have an 8th grade education to graduate HS in CA and the lazy sobs called teachers can only get 50 percent of the 50 percent that don't drop out (gee that sounds like 25% to me) to pass. Gotta love those teachers unions. OOPS I forgot the passing grade is only like 50%, so maybe 12.5% really have an eight grade education after 12 years.
I suspect that most kids could do better if they wern't required to attend school at all. The finest LIBERAL education in the world.
MY kids arn't all that smart either. Its just that they had about 2 to 3 years education in a non CA public schools, and that was dance class, you know 5, 6, 7,8 likely the only real education they received in 1-12.
LA schools are not as bad as they say they are, they are worse, much much worse.
