Then perhaps you Americans should take a look at how we British are 
solving a similar problem...

Instead of complaining about "how it doesn't work" and threatening to 
scrap it, we *fixed* the problem... 

The problem appears to be that everybody must pass High School.  Even if 
they don't.  Perhaps if there was a real chance of little Johnny 
*failing*, the standards would rise...

Please note:  What you Americans call public schools, we call state 
schools...  our Public Schools are private...    :)
