I know we bashed around education on another thread. This just baffles me. Also note at the bottom of the story, this school boasts a graduation rate of.....14%. Thats lower than inner city schools here in Chicago. Whats up out in Ohio ?

They can't get their little butts out of bed and to school, flunk their butt. Which reminds me of another story, I'll have to dig up. Forgot which state it was, but they are actually putting together legislation that will allow 3 rd graders to be left behind a year if they can't pass state reading standards. You have to create legislation for this ? Shouldn't that be a gimme anyway ? The worlds upside down.
