In this revealing alert reel, a high school student expresses deep frustration over the lack of academic instruction in his English classes. He states plainly that he learned nothing of grammar, reading, or writing from the public school system and that his parents had to step in and teach him the fundamentals. The student also exposes a troubling workaround known as “Plato,” a system that allows students to retake failed courses in just two weeks—regardless of how much content they actually mastered. He believes this is being used to artificially inflate graduation rates, leaving students unprepared for life beyond school. His testimony adds to growing concerns that academic rigor is being sacrificed in favor of superficial metrics.
