As I have tried to make clear, Willie's high school is not bad.
It is one of the best.
One of the things the school does right is to provide challenging courses that are college level.
Even when Willie is getting a poor grade, or flunking the course, he says he is learning from the teacher (which is true, and which makes the grading system all the more frustrating).
So today Newsweek comes out with the 100 Best High School list, and the reporter on the story says what makes a good high school is providing AP (Advanced Placement) courses (that is, college level and college preparation).

Right: Willie and his grandfather Taylor, who was/is a teacher
PS: If you are just joining us, we have been running a special series in April and May on our son titled "Will Willie Graduate?"
