Im a High School teacher in Dade County. It is soooooooo hard to fail that I just dont understand how it happens. Show up everyday to class and you will pass, that easy
How? Easy. Most of these kids, like most, goof off their freshmen and sophomore years of HS (skipping class everyday to hang out at the park) and dont get serious until Junior year. Then they get the "deer in headlights" look when their guidance counselor tells them they have a 1.5 GPA going into their JR year and no chance to pass the SAT/ACT unless they study day in and out. Which is something they have never done in their life. Then **** gets real.
You would think most of these optimist prodigies would know better. But I guess they just dont give a *****.
