Hot take: Schools need to start failing students again. In recent years schools and teachers have been discouraged or even punished for failing students. Students who are technically failing are simply being passed from grade to grade without ever being given time to catch up.

When I taught 6th grade earlier this year, many, MANY of my students were several grades behind. It's actually easier to name the ones that WERE on grade level. All of them were being advanced into 7th grade, even though many of them were barely in 4th grade in terms of academic progress. And this wasn't just the school where I taught, it's all over the place.

So many students are so far behind that teachers simply cannot catch everyone up. There aren't enough teachers or hours in the school day to both catch up students to past grades and keep them on track of their current grade. They need to fail. Failing is the only thing that can catch them up.

There are students graduating high school right now who are still in middle school academically.

Failing students is harsh, but necessary. It gives them time to catch up academically which students desperately need right now.

How are these students expected to thrive in college, where failing is an option? Where there's nothing to stop them from failing?

and she might not care about me like i care about her; and she has a right not to. we just only got each other’s numbers yesterday, after knowing each other for months and months. we only see each other in person on thursdays. she gives me something to look forward to, so maybe i can just be happy about this. sure, we talked for hours when we got each other’s numbers, but she is probably busy else where, being around people who deserve her. why don’t i deserve her? i don’t know that myself, but it is just the way it is, i suppose.

Today I present to you this gem from the Belgian les mis account, asking us what our prison number would be, which is. Certainly a move.

Translation : 24601 - Nordin (Javert actor in this production) explains why this is such an important number in Les Misérables. What would be your prison number? 🤔

Note : thanks again to @javertautismtruther for letting me know about this one ! I try to share the posts I can find, but I must admit Instagram posts and posts of non-english speaking les mis account often fly under the radar so if you ever see something like this, a heads-up is always more than welcome !
