Ok, pretty soon, we're gonna be taking the California High School Exit Exam. [CASHEE] which consists of 8th grade math and 10 grade english.
Students who don't pass won't get their diploma their senior year, but a certificate of completion. [We start taking it during our sophmore year]
To pass the test [if we didn't the first time]we get one chance sophmore year, 2 chances junior and 4 senior. Fair enough Fair enough. It's pretty debatable because they're saying students were graduating high school literally unable to read, write, or do simple math, but do you think it's fair that even if a student, who's met ALL the requirements to graduate high school and is just a horrid test taker, doesn't pass the test and isn't allowed to graduate? I mean, I know you get 7 chances to pass it, but stil do you think it's fair to that one kid to have worked so hard, already proving that they can read and do math, to not be able to graduate? This isn't ME btw, I'm just curious.
