California is an amazing territory.

It’s a shame what unbridled Leftist ideology has done to the place.

Look no further for proof of what Leftist ideology will do to any place that adopts it.

will now be able to receive diplomas, which will be worthless once the word spreads to employers.

Give them out like gumdrops that will increase their value.

Hey CA needs money, just set up vending machines that spit out diplomas.

The worst part is it brings down the value for the students who put in the work.

The whole thing is a joke.

I home school a child and try to keep abreast of some of these things. I do not teach to grade level, I teach what will get her through college. Grade level requirements are silly.

Recently I was at a scholarship seminar where they continually spoke of A-G requirements. Everyone seemed to know what these were except for students who graduated without them and tried to get into college. I hadn’t a clue so I looked them up.

These requirements are:
History 2 yrs. or SAT 550
English 3yr. or SAT 550
Math 2 yr or SAT 570
Lab Science 2 yr
Foreign Language 2 yr or SAT 520

My question is what the heck are they doing for four years in high school if they haven’t done the above? What are they doing if they do not have math and English every semester? A 500 on the SAT is not what I would call a great achievement, especially not after having spent 12 years preparing for it. When I question any high school student they cannot answer questions about math, language, or history. When college students see my 11 year old doing school work they say they didn’t see that until their last year in high school or until they entered college. They even said this of the work she was doing when she was 9.

Government schools are a joke.

Paradoxically, one suspects that this might hurt minority kids and one-parent family kids the worst.

High expectations?

These are good things

Logical extension is that no one needs to go to school. They’ll still get a high school diploma. And since no one needs to attend school, there is no need for teachers, administrators, staff or elected school boards.

Then property taxes can be cut in half and tax collectors can find employment elsewhere.
