Yes it is, in the comments section. One person states...
That's his comment, nothing showing that is actually happening or is part of policy.
It makes me wonder why he is teaching at a school that passes failing students, and doesn't make a comment to the district or department of education. As an educator it is his duty to help his kids excel, and his charge to report wrong doing to those in charge. He obviously either isn't doing that...or he's making things up.
It's in the article..state minimum.
From the OP link:
Like other Nebraska public and private high schools, OPS rules match the eligibility guidelines of the Nebraska School Activities Association: Get at least a D in four classes the previous semester. (Most OPS students take seven classes each semester.)
Yeah I know; it's scary to hear my cousin being happy that he's getting D's and when I see his report card he has a 60 which is considered passing. That's a true insult on education and while MD has the best school system in the nation, I wonder what merits it the best. From what I've seen the children are fairly well-rounded and educated but their grades aren't there. And I whole heartily agree with you in the aspect that parents have the schools in their fingertips but they aren't utilizing to the best of their abilities.
My daughter teachers kindergarten in howard county. It's her second year and she is a natural with kids. And they all love her. She thinks some kids should be held back because they can't read or do simple math problems but the parents have put a stop to that. She's ready to quit which would be such a shame. She only wants the best for these kids and these parents just want them promoted no matter what.

Being held back must be pretty tramatic for a kid. Why put them through that? Better to keep low-IQ kids with their age group but give them a different curriculum.

Parents should have taught their kids how to read and do simple math problems by the time they walk into a kindergarten. At least that's my opinion anyway.

Doesn't work like that. They all get the same curriculum and the same state tests.
And if they are held back twice in elementary then they cannot be held back again until HS because at 16 they have to go to HS.
That's how it works in Texas.
I've had 6th graders that already were left back twice and no matter their grades cannot be retained anymore until they get to HS.
