Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
I used to think passing meant I was good enough. That grades were proof I was moving forward. But no one told me that I was being moved along because no one had the energy to hold me back. Not because I earned it. But because the system gave up on me.
This is the truth: we’re passing kids who can’t read.
Not because they tried. Not because they deserved it. But because teachers are tired. Parents are confused. And the system is cracked.
The Department of Education finally admitted it. Some teachers pass students just to avoid the extra work of remediation.
So now, if you can’t read, you can’t just move on. You’re staying for the summer.
This is not punishment. This is correction. This is survival.
