[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advanced diploma is literally meaningless outside of Virginia. It's not like a HS degree is fundamentally changing as a result. The outrage is born of both ignorance and a persecution complex. I ask you, when was the last time someone inquired about your HS diploma? [/quote] It’s not about the diploma, it’s about making sure students take the classes they need to give them a leg up when applying to colleges. Pretending that none of that matters won’t fool most wealthy and educated Virginia parents, but kids without savvy parents are going to need good guidance from the schools themselves. I hope they get it, but most probably won’t.[/quote] That's the whole point of this change and why it's a good thing (I agree the math changes are mostly crap). Schools will HAVE TO require students to take the classes they need instead of saying oh it's just fine if you opt out of math or science in senior year. [/quote]
