Modernized Education Systems does not help our kids learning system, but makes it worse

Thanks for the debate Pro. I know I should forfeit this round, but things must be clarified. Pro asserts "Popularity Rate' is...the amount of attention a school receives by passers...parents...richer people willing to fund the school." Schools in the MES receive money from the State, and the State receives money from the federal government... not funding from passersby. If Pro is using "fund" to mean "pay with taxes", there would be no reason to impress "passers", as they would be forced to pay the taxes, popular school or not. Pro says "the debate mainly falls under whether or not MES should be changed or stay the same." But the claim made by Pro was that a stringent system like Maryland was unique, so the statistic was to show uniformity of standards in the MES. If Pro wishes to change the MES, they have to agree with changing Maryland's stringent system of which Pro advocates for more. Further Pro says "Where my opponent actually admits that many students fail to graduate school because of loads of absences, " Yes, the MES is so focused on accountability that many unaccountable students fail for valid reasons. This is counter to a reason Pro claims the MES is making our students worse. I must defend my fellow competent teachers, when Pro says "regular tests given in the schools...are curved...a teacher can easily curve the test if all the students fail, showing a more "Easier Route" than a more stricter MES." Nope. When students take classroom (not standardized) tests nowadays, pop quizzes or otherwise, the students use computers, that track their raw data and progress, to take these assessments. The students immediately see the grade they received on the test...raw data...no curve. The programs we use for quizzes and tests don't even have options for a curve. Yes, teachers can manipulate grade books, and this is unacceptable, but test data is becoming very accurate. No competent teacher would curve a totally failed test...give us a little credit. Pro argues "MES...is false and..much worse, than a more possible "stricter" system." and at the same time argues "if the current MES is holding that student back [because of absences]...complained by the public, then that further proves why this debate goes more to the Pro, than Con." So both are true? The MES is worse than a stricter system, and the MES is too strict with holding kids back for attendance? I reject the claim that the MES does not help our students' retention from school and that the MES makes students' retention from school worse, because Pro has failed to meet their Burden of Proof. *accountability in the MES Pro says it's good in Maryland. Maryland's standards are the same in all 50 state schools and DC, therefore MES is good. *retention in the MES All of the secured standardized tests required to graduate test retention. If a student graduated, they retained. *Popularity Rates of Schools Were never demonstrated by Pro as the reasons for a school's funding under the MES as our MES is funded by taxes. *Pro thinks good, Pro thinks bad. Pro claims the MES isn't strict enough on accountability, and that it is too strict on accountability. Pro says in the MES "Students are not accountable" and in the MES "many students fail to graduate school because of loads of absences...putting more irresponsibility into the future of our country of the United States" Failing kids for attendance is holding them accountable, but students failing for attendance leads to irresponsibility in the future? I reject the claim the MES makes students retention and accountability worse.
