A recent survey conducted released some amazing yet startling information. It stated that a great many of high school "graduates", seven of every ten to be exact, failed to pass two or more of the five courses which are required to graduate. These students were able to graduate by being issued a waiver. The man who created this waiver system, Kel Seliger, said only that the system was "not perfect".
So basically what this says is that the school system has allowed tons of ill-equipped students loose into our society to fend for themselves, though they will obviously fail because of the school system's allowance of this system. We are not living in the 1800's anymore. Everybody is entitled to a good education in order to prepare them for the world. I'm not saying that DISD prepares us for the world, but it's a lot better than just faking your way through high school. These students will be able to get jobs probably, but they will probably be completely useless in them.
