Besides throwing out the usual Republican buzzwords concerning what is wrong with SC’s public education system —teacher unions, indoctrination of students, lack of parental control, etc., etc., please tell us specifically what steps the state needs to take to improve its public schools. And don’t say vouchers, that has already been declared unvonstitional, and rightly so, by the SC Supreme Court.

Start failing students who don’t meet the minimum requirements to advance to the next grade. Schools have already dumbed down the grading ranges (A = 90-100, B = 80 -89, C = 70-79, etc…), I recall school grading as being A = 94-100, B = 88-93, C =82 – 87, D = 76 – 81, F = 75 and below. So what is now a C used to be a failing grade. I also remember when kids would be held back a grade.
