At first glance Mr. Bobb signing an executive order getting rid of social promotion sounds really good. Personally I hate social promotion, it does a disservice to our children. But after thinking some more, did Mr. Bobb think this thru. How is he going to execute this ? You need serious intervention put into place along with alternative schools. Is he thinking he might lose his court case against the school board, so he would strike first. It would seem that something like this would need to be phrased in stages I mean you have many thousands of students that need to be held back at least one grade.

The teachers will really have a bullseye on their back with this executive order. accountability is coming whether they like it or not.
