Who cares if you can't read after third grade? Not Gretcholm...

That’s also not what I said... I was saying that I was surprised there wasn’t some sort of outrage over age differences from some sort of sexual angle. We get really uptight over that stuff for whatever reason in this country. Never said not being able to read caused it though apparently we’ve discovered you need to go back to the third grade...Matt wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:24 amThis is a ridiculous argument. "If you can't read, you definitely are going to commit sexual assault". You seriously don't believe that nonsense, do you???NS8401 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 10:15 pmSo how long do you hold them back? Just a year? Maybe 2 or 3? It’s a slippery slope. That’s the dangerous part... I’m actually shocked there isn’t more outrage about what a newly hormonal 10 or 11 year old might try to do with a 9 year old...Matt wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 9:35 pmThe state legislature passed a law, signed by the previous governor to hold kids who were not reading at the proper level back in third grade. The current governor wants that law overturned with no real solution suggested. We're not blaming Whitmer for people being illiterate, but she called the new law destructive, while many believe passing the kids up to the next grade without having the tools to be successful is perhaps more destructive than a grade promotion participation trophy.borderboy653659200 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 7:23 pmI told you about 40% of Michiganders and Michigeese are functionally illiterate (how is that Whitmer's fault ?

Another worry educators have expressed—that children might be retained in third grade multiple times until they are able to pass the state test—were addressed in the law’s final form. Students would not repeat third grade more than once.

Because our resident Canadian race-baiter most likely doesnt care about poor whites, judging by his own bitterness toward them in past statements. He thinks they are all ignorant racists. Funny....i think the same about him.FET-500 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 8:33 amThe number you reference is actually low... and it is specific to Michigan's urban black population.borderboy653659200 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 7:23 pmI told you about 40% of Michiganders and Michigeese are functionally illiterate (how is that Whitmer's fault ?
