Abstract

Kids with "poor attendance," "excessive tardiness," "academic failure," "apathy," "social issues," low motivation, and such "challenges to success" as pregnancy and poverty, it read.\n Credit-recovery and online programs have been accused of low standards and a weak-tea curriculum, anything to get kids into the graduation statistics, critics contend. The PLCs also don't accept English-language learners, kids with discipline problems or most disabilities, or those with elementary-level reading and math abilities, as other public schools must, which muddies the comparison.
