Some of them also had tutors who served the same purpose. These same kids then took the exams and did poorly because they were completely incapable of critical thinking and problem-solving on their own.
If these kinds of kids were going to school in Texas, I'm sure that they'd be getting A's in math classes even though they didn't deserve to.

What? The most you get when the grades are dropped is about 5 points, and every grade dropped is something that does not count for much
