Comment: According to this report almost 50% of LAUSD's kids are truant. And 70% of LAUSD graduates that are in community colleges are in remedial classes (not college level courses). With so much attention on a goal of 100% graduation rate, it seems likely that everyone has an incentive to graduate kids even if they aren't learning what's needed to be successful in life and these statistics don't bode well for the value of an LAUSD High School Diploma.

Exactly! Thanks for sharing this link. We need to hold the bar high and aim for high graduation rates. This requires a lot of work though.... and I hope LAUSD soon decides to step up to that challenge.
