Unfortunately….I think these changes in our education system will increase the amount of high school drop outs..In todays society most of our young people
( not all…we do have some really bright kids out there who are amitious and want a better future for themselves) have no ambition or discipline or good work habits…The parents ( some of them but not all of the them spoil their children to no end….They don’t have to do a thing…..They get what they want and doesn’t have to earn their priviledges or know the value of a dollar…..So these students are not gonna be prepared to these harder tests……I know we want to prepare our children for a brighter and more productive future…I think better education is wonderful….My only question is it going to work….

I’m glad they’re upping education requirements again. Most of the kids up there don’t have much ambition or want to learn. With more end of the course exams they will have to learn the material and not “slide by”, well if they want to graduate. Haha.

REGARDING:
“Then we still have so many stupid laws on the books that should never be enforced.”

True. That makes me like the idea of Sunset Laws, laws which have to be renewed by the Legislature every so often to remain on the books. That way, unless a majority agrees it is a good law, it just goes away.

REGARDING:
“I hope that each parent that has a child puts a law suit on the state of Flordia if the child does not pass these test.”

What if the kid failed because he or she didn’t know the subject yet?

I don’t know any details but Kansas is supposed to have changed to a system in which kids can show they have mastered a subject and move on, not wait until the end of the semester or year. (They did it out of a money shortfall, but if it helps, it is a good thing.) Instead of being discouraging, that may even be encouraging.

Some laws are good, some not so good. But what bothers me is they just make them and never enforce them. Then we still have so many stupid laws on the books that should never be enforced. Just like a closet or garage that never gets cleaned out.

Another person not in education making it so hard on the students. The average student that wants to get a higher education will have a hard time .These new test will cost the state of Flordia many thousands of dollars. I hope that each parent that has a child puts a law suit on the state of Flordia if the child does not pass these test.
