It's been identified that the general American education system has been dumb down. Now that our millennial Hmong generation is here...they are no exception and have fallen down the same system.
Can't expect everyone to become doctors, engineers, and lawyers...not everyone will have such aptitude. Some are just like me. Just happy to work a flipping burger job and it's good enough. It doesn't matter if I can test higher than the school valedictorian. I just don't have that aptitude to complete college or even a vo-tech training.
How is Marny going to fix it? Easy...get really good guidance counselors and very good home room teachers. So easy, yet so hard to do. It's still up to the student. If you got mush for brains, it's only good for mush. Yep...I got mush!
