If you can't pass those ridiculously easy tests, you don't even belong in school, in society, in this country! Can't we even have some basic, bottom of the barrel, lowest common denominator standards anymore?
No, no, every child is special, can't hurt their self-esteem by holding them back and teaching them the basics, now can we?
I fear for the future.
Amazing that schools and teachers are so unified against learning and achievement.
If I was a teacher, I'd be embarrassed that any student could get through my classroom while remaining so uneducated.

While I agree with you, I'd submit that if you had to spend eight hours a day babysitting someone else's misbehaved brats for $20k a year, you probably wouldn't give much of a damn either.
