Only here in California could this happen:
High School Exit Exam TossedWonderful.A judge says the test, required for graduation for the first time this year, places an unfair burden on students in low-performing schools.
A California judge struck down the state's controversial high school exit exam Friday, potentially clearing the way for thousands of seniors who have failed the test to graduate with their class next month.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Robert B. Freedman issued a preliminary injunction against the mandatory testing requirement, ruling it places an unfair burden on poor and minority students who attend low-performing schools.
"With the bold stroke of a pen, Judge Freedman has given 47,000 students an opportunity to walk the stage with their classmates and to receive their high school diplomas," attorney Arturo Gonzalez said in a statement. Gonzalez filed the challenge to the exit exam in February on behalf of a group of students and their parents.
With graduation ceremonies weeks away, the decision throws into question the fate of many of the 46,700 seniors statewide — roughly one in 10 — who have failed the two-part test. It is certain to reignite national debate over the fairness of such exams.
State Supt. of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell, who wrote the legislation mandating the exam in 1999, expressed deep frustration over the ruling and reiterated the state's plans for a speedy appeal.
"I am greatly disappointed in today's court decision," he said. "It's a setback for students and for hard-fought school accountability in our state…. It's a decision that should not be allowed to stand."
Now we're graduating high school seniors that cannot pass a test because of the unfair pressure it puts on them. It's too hard!! I feel repressed!
Great - now we'll have another batch of people incapable of functioning in society....and they will (of course) blame the Man for their problems.
