If kids fail in school in your country, do they get passed anyway to avoid hurting their feelings?

>Montgomery County’s failure rate for the June final exam in Algebra 1 was so steep — 82 percent for high school students — that district officials say they decided to add 15 percentage points to all test grades, recalculate scores and reprint thousands of report cards.

5x+10=15+5
solve for x

(y-10)=2(x-5)
what is the value of y at x=5

y=x
what is the slope

I literally live there and go to school there.
It's 11% white, and a terrible place to be.
Literally Johannesburg tier.

Can confirm.
You receive 50% for not attempting the assignment, and almost everything is infinitely re assessable. If kids fail they make it easier to succeed

62.6% White (47.0% Non-Hispanic White)
18.6% Black
14.9% Asian
0.7% Native American
0.1% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander
3.1% Two or more races
In addition, 18.3% were Hispanic or Latino, of any race

The article never says Maryland, and there are 18 states with a Montgomery County. This is just as bad as when people in San Francisco say "the bay area" like there's only one bay in the world.

It's on the graphic, mention on the previous articles linked to, and you could have easily googled the superintendent's name.

No longer the case.

I'm not saying I couldn't figure it out, just that the person who wrote the article should put some more effort into being unambiguous. Lazy journalism seems to be getting more popular lately.

fucking lol

although to be honest we probably do something like that too in really shitty areas

I don't think anythin in the U.S. is close to Johannesberg tier. Not even Detroit is this bad.

>5x+10=15+5
5x+10-10=15+5-10
5x=10
(5x)/5=10/5
x=2

>y-10=2x+5
if x=5, 2x=(2*5)=10
y-10=10+5
y-10+10=10+5+10
y=25
Oh, I do private lessons, therefore if kids fail, I earn money
