[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s say a state requires all high schoolers to pass 10th grade level algebra exam before receiving a diploma, and there are no exceptions to this rule. Let’s say a student has severe dyscalculia and will never be able to pass the algebra exam, regardless of how much instruction or tutoring is provided or what accommodations are provided during the test. The student can pass the ELA and history exams with no problem. Many decent paying jobs, including custodian, security, chefs and even basic receptionist jobs require a high school diploma.[/quote] Ridiculous. The general curricular requirements should be universal. It's a pretty low bar as it is. Otherwise there is the GED, and please don't say that the math on there is also too hard. Respect the existence of some minimum standard. Achievement is not entitlement. [/quote]
