Trolls
The basic high school requirements vary state to state but it’s something like 24 credits. They have to include math up to algebra 2, US and world history, two years of a foreign language, two years of science perhaps “earth science” and biology or chemistry, I’m not sure how much “language arts” (English) and electives. Then you have to pass the state mandated tests for 10th grade profeciency in math and reading or get a waiver awarded by a small “committee”. Many students end up with a certificate of attendance instead of a diploma. The community colleges take them from the certificate of attendance to an actual diploma. The low level community college classes are just as dysfunctional as high school if not worse. Many teachers are afraid to teach these courses. Sincere students often resent the presence of these students as well since they are often violent criminals who have been court ordered to remain in school until 25.
I taught high school in America for two years. Reading and world history. 11th and 12th grade reading was astonishing. It was like what the **** have you been doing for 12 years. ****ers could barely read Cat in the Hat, no ****. You ask them to name a foreign country and they’ll say Alabama, no lie.
