- tptacek 7y agoAlgebra II / Trig was a graduation requirement at my kids public high school.
- simonsarris 7y agoWhat is a graduation requirement for high school and what high school students know (or can read, at all) at graduation are very different, regardless of whether they graduate.
- pvg 7y agoThe same can be asked about the claimed requirement that students graduate as docile cogs in a pliant social machine. Like, what are the stats for that so we can assess which one is the more accurate description of the purpose of schools?
- burfog 7y agoIt was, if you ignored the escape hatch. Anybody unable to pass the classes can be judged to have a disability (call it "dyscalcula") and then allowed to graduate with reduced requirements. This stuff is making a mockery of education. It has even hit college now, with many students getting extra time for tests simply because they were shameless about claiming a disability.
