Thanks in part to the work of Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the law will require states including Oregon to pay more attention to high schools that fail to graduate more than two-thirds of their graduates on time.

Pass. Pass. Pass. Fail...Pass. Pass. Pass. Fail...Pass.

Maybe if graduates today could read and do simple math rather than have sky high self esteem they might have more secure lives to look forward to.

The name of the legislative act will be the solution.
The numbers will then look great - 100% pass!

The Federal govt. has no role in primary or secondary education, a responsibility of the individual states. The entire Dept. of Education is unconstitutional. DeVos should be about blowing up the dept., not signing off on its illegal mandates. Sheesh.

Classic rehash of the thousands of plans that have been so damaging to the education results for the past 53 years.

Guarantees that the U.S. will never regain it's former (pre- 1964) status of being the world's finest.

Looks like more and more this is W’s Third Term.

New package, same bilge. DeVos still pumping Common Core.

Shut down the US Dept of Ed.

[Albion Wilde]

I had hoped that the Secretary of Education would be making a plan to dismantle the agency. In its place, issue federal guidelines for a required number of units of classical civics instruction for all grades AND for any incoming public official.

[Paulie]

What happened to eliminating Common Core and putting a stop to anti-American and otherwise perverted indoctrination?

Or have the DC cocktail parties become more important?

If the basturd is dumb — flunk their butts!! We are a merit based country— not a communist country!!

There should be NO federal standards or anything else that the states can be answerable to the Federal government for, no federal requirements and no federal aid at all from K through grad school.
