I think there should be more options. I think teachers need to consider their accountability when flunking students; certainly many of them don't do ALL they could do to help the students succeed. Half of my daughters class last year ended up in academic intervention or flunking out completely and when I had an opportunity to speak to the teacher outside the class environment she admitted she was in over her head and was moving back to teaching elementary school!

This year half of those students she failed are missing out on electives and science labs and all kinds of things the other kids get to do because they have been put in remedial classes.

I'm going to get torched for this but I also happen to think "graduating" is over-rated. My sister got fed up with school at the beginning of her sophmore year and my mom signed her out of school and she moved out and became emancipated at age 16. She got a job and an apartment. I know she feels some embarassment about not having a diploma but she got her GED. And she is successful and still did some college later in life and has a good paying job.

Young people often think that can never recover from something that goes wrong in their life. It feels insurmountable. And SO MUCH PRESSURE is put of kids to succeed; like it's black and white, pass or fail, succeed or die trying. The reality is LIFE is the process of trying to LIVE through the obstacles, tramas, dramas, high times and low.

What do they care?.....They did their job and there is no emotional bond between teacher and student....
