Wait, you have to take a test to get out of third grade, what is wrong with these people Walleye Apr 2023 #1

Yeah because letting them go from grade to grade is such a good idea. jimfields33 Apr 2023 #3

I really don't see how giving eight-year-old a final exam helps this problem Walleye Apr 2023 #4

True. But if they didn't get it in first grade and can't pass a third grade test, what should they jimfields33 Apr 2023 #5

Well if what you say is the answer we're gonna have some pretty big third graders in school Walleye Apr 2023 #6

Lol. I needed that. jimfields33 Apr 2023 #7

That's not fair. You don't need more than a third grade education to vote for Trump. Wonder Why Apr 2023 #8
