LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Officials with the Los Angeles
Unified School District were considering a plan on Wednesday that would lower
standards for graduation and even allow students to pass key classes with a “D”
grade.
Funny – I was watching the Master’s Golf Tournament
a couple of weeks ago, and Exxon-Mobile commercials were showing how America
ranked in the world in Math and Science.
They were pushing for better support for education and higher standards
for performance.
I guess the Los Angeles Unified School District didn’t get the
memo. As the professional educators put
their collective brains together on how to address the deplorable standards of the
LA school system, where only 15% of graduates can qualify for the University of
California or Cal State University systems they come up with the answer… If we
can’t meet the minimum standards, then lower the standards.
If that is not a union’s approach to
protect its members than I don’t know what is?
