[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some kids can barely eke out a standard diploma. Will this make it harder for them? [/quote] Yes it will. An extra year of math. If the VMPI people are to be believed, all the years of math will be more difficult as well.[/quote] And an extra year of science and social studies. Right now the standard diploma only requires 3 yrs of math, science, social studies. The only 4-years requirement is for English.[/quote] I can get behind 4 years of the core subjects for every student. We need more focus on Civics/Social Studies. There should be 4 years of English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I understand that there are other classes that people enjoy and that they are important but we need for students to have a better understanding of the basics and we have been failing in those areas.
