This law California just passed may signal the END of our Republic

@Tully Mars @Don't.....................................this reminds me of Illinois. This state is mostly rural and a whole lot of great people live there. But, Chicago ruins this state reputation.
When we travel to Portage, Indiana, we have to steer clear of Illinois because the border towns in Illinois. The police stop people and take their firearms they carry legally everywhere else (other states). This is sad because there are places there I would love to see, but, no way.

Exactly @Brokor. Good post!

 

@Witch Doctor 01 good post. The laws is still enforcing CA standards just not the exit exam.

My daughter spent much of her senior year in the CA school system. She was required to take the exam. This exam was hard. And you only get a few chances to pass, no pass in the 2 chances then no diploma. She came back to get her diploma in CO. Often she has mentioned how much harder the schools and graduation exam in CA were. In her opinion everyone should have to take the exam. I have a co-worker that graduated CO high school with a 6th grade reading level.

 

Knowing basic math, reading and writing is all you need in a GED world. I don't understand the upset here. When I graduated you had to pass final exams and get a passing grade. Now you have to get a passing grade AND pass a state exam. All this law does it take it back to the individual schools to pass or fail for HS diploma. So why all the bashing. Think this thru.


We only need to be able to read, write and do arithmetic. Today's 'tests' are designed for people who learn visually. Many people learn better with touch or hearing but not so well with visual. The problem with modern schooling is that it is designed for visual learning and regurgitation with no regard for critical thinking skills. I would much rather work with someone who was 'uneducated' according to the public school system standard but who can actually think their way thru a problem to a solution. Idiots can earn degrees and still lack the skill to think and solve problems.

 

"critical thinking" is one of the buzz words in today's University, Hawked as being needed but never taught except in the Tech or Ag classes.

 

and mainly something that used to be passed down from Father to son, Mother to daughter if I'm not mistaken

 

That's how I got mine and you also I imagine.

 

You made my point for me. thank you @HK_User and @Tully Mars education in schools only needs to cover read writing and math. Everything else you learn from your raising
