PORTLAND, Ore. -- Public schools in Oregon have one of the lowest graduation rates in the country. The state also requires students be in class for fewer days than students in most other states. Year after year, the state’s high school graduation rate is among the worst in the country. Currently, one out of every four students does not graduate high school in four years.
Around the country, students in other states average 180 days of instructional time in a school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Those are defined as days when kids are at their desk, learning from a teacher.
In Oregon, the average is about 165 instructional days. That’s among the lowest in the country.
It's all part of the plan: keep people stupid and they'll vote straight Democrat every time.
Seems to work!
