This is the problem. You're heavily pushed not to flunk kids who deserve flunking. Was quite surprised when I went to an american uni and there was quite a lot of blatant cheating going around and people who shouldn't have passed their courses passing. Probably way worse in high school and grade school especially with minorities cause they can just cry racism
What’s the solution then if we cant flunk them or pass them? Try and transfer them like japan and south korea do to problematic students? They’re still going to end up somewhere
puerto rico is a U.S. Territory. there's been talk of making them a state for years, decades really...

If we flunked kids who deserved flunking, high schools would be full of 14 year olds in the same classes as 22 year olds.
Which creates a whole different major problem I'm sure you can figure out regarding consent laws and trying to enforce them.
Maybe with that level of visibility we could start to address the racial elephant in the room.

I won't pretend I have a solution, as clearly every angle brings considerable issues.

yeah, cause she blamed her language barrier as one of the reasons she never bothered to learn to read or write
