So we have these things called Interim Reports that are intended to notify the parents of students who are failing a given subject of their impending retention. I understand that large, urban school districts like Philadelphia must have several safeguards set in place for students, however, these things take FOREVER!! To fail a student (and its usually quite clear), you must fill out countless numbers of forms, and if you don't get carpal tunnel syndrome during that process, they'll still probably be passed onto the next grade level anyhow. Nonetheless, I am now filling out tons and tons of paperwork. Back to work...and the Streets...
