Agreed, because of government (federal and state) legislation. Off the top of my head I don’t remember all of them, leave no child behind, the test where they study to study the test to get passing grades which takes up a lot time in which they could actually study. If I remember correctly that test was tied to the teacher’s and their ability and knowledge and so students make passing grades to graduate. Also was tied to funds from the government. ---

It’s been years since I’ve seen that. It’s a clear hoax that made the rounds a while back. ---
