With an average ACT score of 19 or so for graduates, Louisiana is doing a fine job undermining public education without my help.

Yes, it is ultimately a parent's responsibility to ensure high school graduates accept responsibility for their choices and educational accomplishments. But it is increasingly difficult for parents to accomplish that if their children spend 35-40 hours per week in LA public schools.

Because that is so different than any other point in American history?

Come on, MG. You might have pulled the wool over someone's eyes before, but that right there is pure garbage. Kids have been going to school for 35-40 hours a week for decades. So how is it any different now?

It's the parents, man. All these parents that let their kids do and say whatever they want are the problem.

I know quite a few hard working people that didn't score much higher than that on an ACT, by the way.

Don't EVER try and undermine someone because of a low test score on a standardized test!

I used to have a lot of respect for you. Now, you just come off as some ***** trying to preach his way to the masses, as if he is better than everyone else and knows best how others should lead their lives.

I do pretty well with my private school education that landed me a solid 19 ACT score, and zero college education. My parents were solid, and my kids will do just as well because of solid parenting.

We put too much emphasis on "education", teach kids to live and be hungry for more and they will find their way happily and successfully.

Need a study on how the weir openings affect ACT scores. Probably a significant factor
