There should absolutely be more flexibility with the advanced diploma. My kid is 2E, brilliant kid but has dyslexia. He tried really hard with foreign language but the way his brain is wired he could not pass. Meanwhile, he was in AP classes and and loved academic challenges in any other way.
Ultimately though, even with multiple AP and honors classes, he still graduated with a standard diploma. That’s all well and good but is kind of a slap in the face to a kid that really meets the point of the diploma.
this is why it is important to have sign language as an accepted foreign language.
