High School graduates are not college-ready!
You must raise standards — hold them to a rigorous standard and they will be college-ready.
So you raise the standards. Many fail — because despite myriad interventions and creativity on the part of the educator, they just couldn’t or wouldn’t reach the standard.
Statistics fall! If graduation rates drop and not enough students pass the state-wides…. it’s catastrophic.
So you spoon-feed them in order to pad the stats. Coddle them, chase them around with support, call home, stay long after, provide all the support they need. And they squeak by with a 67 or a 70 on the state-wides….
….and get to college. Where nobody will spoon-feed them, nobody will coddle them, nobody will chase them around with support, call home or stay long after to provide the support they have been programmed to need. So they drop out of college, woefully unprepared,
High School graduates are not college-ready!
You must raise standards…..
