The Dumbing Down of the US

[KUfaninNebraska]

This ties into my opinion that primary schools (elementary through HS) have turned into nothing more than large-scale babysitting operations rather than places of learning.

It seems that they might as well get their HS diploma when they start kindergarten. From what I've read, in some districts children can't get F's or zeros. Never heard of such thing in my day.
