        Part One Please discuss how Finland educates students. Recess, treatment of teachers, etc. When was in junior high school around 1984, read more functional illiterates in USA than people living in Canada. Still huge problem

        This will negatively impact these children for the rest of their life. We need to do better. This is not the only school system failing our children.

        This is sad. A total disservice to the students and an absolute abdication of the educators’ professional responsibilities.

        How do absences equate to the qualifications of meeting or even exceeding the required standard/passing grade? trump plays alot of golf & is still president. See what I mean?
