Should Kids Be Able To Graduate After 10th Grade?
QUOTE High school sophomores should be ready for college by age 16. That's the message from New Hampshire education officials, who announced plans Oct. 30 for a new rigorous state board of exams to be given to 10th graders. Students who pass will be prepared to move on to the state's community or technical colleges, skipping the last two years of high school. Absolutely preposterous! >=0 Reminds me of BSEC here in NYC. Bard High School Early College completes the high school curriculum within 2 years so if the students survive the end of their senior year, they would have an Associates Degree. |

If you don't think you could've past the test in your previous year, then you don't get to graduate. I still think it's pretty stupid, though. You can cram all you want for this test but that doesn't prove that you will do well long term (college) |
