Nobody wants to do anything about it... the local school board is adored by people hear.

Everybody wins. Nobody loses... everybody gets a trophy or ribbon.

Grade could well be in "Rainbows, Zebra, Lions and Tigers" for all the good they do.

You forget Michigan has horrible schools. Probably some of the worst in the nation... and just recently a law was passed to allow those asshats that run the Michigan Board to take over school districts and dissolve any organization and combine them with neighboring school districts.

It doesn't work to "do something about it instead of opting out and then whining about it". Everyone is out of work here, everyone hates taxes, everyone is just fine with little Jeffy getting a Rainbow++ on the paper they copied off the internet. Don't you *DARE* say what horrible parents they are for not pushing their kids.
