My wife is a behavioral therapist in schools, and every year they pass mentally challenged children who can't read or even count to ten into 1st and 2nd grade. Kids get bullied and made fun of and never learn to actually read, because 2nd grade teachers aren't teaching reading.

Please don't blame this on the teachers.

Principals. Although the teachers pushed for it too in this situation because they didn't want to have to "teach kids that were unreachable." principals lose funding for repeats.

Grade schools also can't hold a kid back 2 years in a row.

Which is stupid. Never understand how passing them on to a harder level of education solves the problem. This kid was a kindergartner though, physically the size of a 3 year old, definitely should have been held back. Teachers were lazy and principal didn't want to look bad for ha ingredients repeats. Which is how kids get to college and can't read, all about selfishness.

Our entire education system is a joke. We haven't had a raise here in NC in almost a decade.

That's a huge disadvantage for kids that really just need an extra year to keep up or settle down and focus.

It is like that in middle grades, too. I obviously won't divulge too much but it is generally frowned upon at my work place to hold kids back before they get to the eight grade.

“I enjoyed it,”

“Even though it was an unofficial, I still liked the campus and the area. It was raining when I went out there, so I’m going to go out there again for an official visit. But I still liked it, though — everything about it, really — the stadium, and I know they’ve got a lot of fans, and just the whole college campus, period.”

“I really like Tennessee,” he said. “When it all comes down, they’ll be one of the schools that will be in the running for me to go to, because I do like Tennessee.

“I don’t really have no favorite schools right now, but I know for sure they’ll be in that top three — for sure.”

“Coach ‘Z’ and Coach Jones spent, like, the whole day — not the whole day, but most of the day — with me,” said Lauderdale, who will have three years to play two seasons at the college of his choice. “That was kind of an eye-opener, because they were there the whole time I was there — like, they were right next to me.”

“They have their own homemade peanut butter, which was weird to me,” he said. “But I tasted it, and I kept going back to get more. I even took some on the way back home. It was good, but I’ve never seen nothing like that before — like, your own peanut butter. It was funny. It was good, too. I thought maybe it’d be kind of OK, but it was good. It was healthy for you, too.”

Said he plans to make his decision in December. He plans to come back to UT in the fall for an OV.

The peanut butter will win out in the end, IMO.
