Sad, but true. There are far too many kids nowadays - of all races, creeds, and colors - who manage to graduate high school when they probably shouldn't have. High school graduates who cannot read, write, or do simple arithmetic.
I blame the mindset that insists kids must always be taught how wonderful they are, even when they are unable to function at grade level academically. As kind and gentle as it may seem, we do our future no favors by ensuring that no one loses at sports or education by artificial means.
What is the point of rules that are not enforced?
