[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]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 Studie[/b]s. 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.

Completely agree. Having the option to not do this and still graduate seems like it's just letting the schools off the hook for not supporting kids towards taking real classes all four years.[/quote]

I agree too.[/quote]
