Yet there are tons of extremely successful companies in California hiring very educated employees that other parts of the country would do anything to get. I'm sure they are eager to hear the opinions of those places. Obviously California is finding the level of education there good enough to hire and the high school education is enough for them to get accepted into college.
This has nothing to do with good students who go to college an get hired by extremely successful companies. It's about the 40,000 who couldn't wrap their minds around 10th grade algebra.
When do we get to go again? By Elliot over on the CA forum...you know cause I know you'd never go there:
Great economic news: California is a MANUFACTURING juggernaut -- we are No. 1 in the nation in manufacturing output, and, in the last 12 months it is growing faster than the US economy:
California’s "exports of manufactured goods in August rose 7.2% to $9.55 billion from $8.91 billion one year earlier."
California's "exports of Transportation Equipment (automobiles, trucks, trains, boats, airplanes, and their parts) fared even better, increasing by 6.8% to $4.64 billion from $4.34 billion. Exports of Non-Electrical Machinery (machinery for industrial, agricultural and construction uses as well as ventilation, heating, and air conditioning equipment) roared ahead by 12.0% to $4.16 billion from $3.71 billion.
"California accounted for 11.4% of the nation’s overall merchandise export trade in August. Through the first seven months of 2017, the state’s exports are running 5.3% ahead of last year.
Why don't we just give people diplomas without them having to go to school, then we wouldn't even need schools and that would save a lot of taxpayer dollars right there.
So you switch to **** core and the students couldn't pass the test because you didn't teach them anything.
You'll be kicking a lot of states out of the union, if having a high school exit exam is the requirement to belong.
Currently only 13 states still require them: Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. Even among those three (Mississippi, Indiana, and Texas) allow alternative pathways to graduation. Even at the peak of the test craze only 27 states either required or planned on requiring them. Here's the thing, all that testing did nothing to improve student scores, decreased graduation rates, and costs an obnoxious amount of money. The end result was so bad that along with California, the states of Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas have retroactively issued diplomas to those denied them strictly on exit exams.
