Some students, they don't even learn the material in school but they got diploma. Do you think it's the teachers or parents fault? For my opinion, not all the students learn material at school. Do you think we should let them have H.S diploma?

it is the parents fault as well as the kids. it in no way can be the teachers fault, because there are some kids in that class that learn, and no if the kid does not meet the minimum criteria to graduate, then he or she should not graduate....!

Hmm. Tough call.
In my opinion, a lot of my classmatess still don't know a lot about things. They just float by, barely getting 70s, and they don't really care. I guess they'll get a really kick in the head once they get into the real world.
It depends on the situation. It can be the parents fault for not giving any care about the kid's education, or putting down their self-esteem. Teachers, if they don't teach the material, that can be a problem. Or if the teachers bring down their self-esteem as well.
I believe that it mainly rests on the student's shoulders. As a Senior in HS right now, a lot of our teachers are good teachers, going over material extensively, offering tutorials, etc. And what do a lot of my classmates do? They don't take notes, they don't ask the teachers questions, they don't go after school for tutorials, and they talk while the teacher is trying to teach. A student should be able to take full responsibility to break through the teacher's poor teaching (they may be bad at teaching, but good at tutorials. I had a teacher like that one time). Of course, the parents need to back up the child 110%.
In my state, in order to graduate, you have to pass the standardized test. But some students who even pass that test are still...well, quite dumb, to put it honestly. They'll put all that effort into that one test because they want to get out of high school. Other than that, they won't work that hard for any other test in their life.
So...it can go a variety of ways. It really just depends on the situation. I believe that they should have a H.S. Diploma, because really it's the education behind it that'll make the difference, not just the fact that you have one, that'll make a difference in the child's future.

In Indiana it is almost impossible for a person to get a High School diplomia unless they are able to pass the ISTEP test. I feel if a child gets through school and still is unable to pass the ISTEP I feel society as failed them. I also know many individuals whom are unable to complete basic work due to learning disabilities. This is unfortunate because many employers require a High School Diploma and some of these jobs would not require a person to be able to do Algebra in order to do the job (IE in a factory). So in my opinion exceptions should be made in case of learning disability.

A high school diploma is like buying a turkey for thanksgiving. You don't stop after you buy it. You still need to cook it, curve it, serve it and eat away.
So, a high school diploma ain't nothing today but an important step along the way to better and bigger things. Any kid today who does not at least go to college is screwing his/her future.

some states are requiring state tests called graduation tests. they make sure that students remember the things they were supposed to learn while in HS and have to pass to graduate. I just thought you would like to know this.
