It is sad, two of our boys can go to any school they want, and yes they worked hard to get there. But the kids that are being passed just for funds is wrong. It wasn't until we adopted our three when I found out about special ed. Boy was that a big change. But I would do it again. I just don't think they should get A's
just for being there. When I get their SAT scores I'm shocked
I even asked our son if he read every question, he said "well no, but I filled in the bubbles the best I could"
OK I understand why he has a 3.5 GPA!!!!! It's just wrong!
