School is a joke now. They all sit in groups and cheat off the smart kid. Extra credit opportunities are endless. They spend at least 20% of the day talking in class, or as teachers call it "practicing communication" lol.
Never mind reading, writing, arithmetic, personal finance, PE
No child left behind makes flunking a child next to impossible. The child has to Basically have straight Fs , then the parents have to request that the child retake the year
