I'm sure glad they didn't have those when I was in school. |
Yea they have four years to pass it, but OMG 1/2 didn't,
and this year it counts! When they first came up with the test here,
they gave it to all 9th graders, if they passed both Engish & Math, they
didn't have to take it again. Now with only a few weeks left, I kind of feel sorry for the ones who didn't pass. It's going to be a small 2006 class, because the school said they couln't walk if they didn't pass.
We have three more years to worry about it, there's no way our two 9th graders are going to pass. The School said Special Ed or not all students
have to pass it
I just hope they come up with a plan, because if not, I'm not going to be a happy camper!
