Instead of diplomas, give each failing student a "Certificate of Self-Esteem."

Exit tests for the students would show which schools are doing bad. That is the last thing the teacher unions want you to know. Like every other socialist program the government has this one has rotted to its core and has become undependable.

The bigger question is: why are judges running our schools?

Fruits of the '60s fruits. "All we need is love man!"

Yeah, and the judge just doesn't realize that those who could not pass the exam will now enter the industry, and just imagine the problem employers will have. If I were an employer, I would try to get a copy or facsimile of this exam and before employing, give the exam. Instead of 5 times and a grade of 50, I would give it once. And I would require English as a language.

Ignorance is one of the strongest elemental forces known in the universe, second in power only to idiocy and surpassing meanness. Given the high energy prices, and especially the energy situation in California, it makes eminent sense to harness the vast powers of ignorance to diminish our dependence on, among other things, foreign oil. Thus the judge in question demonstrated the qualities of a true statesman of at least gubernatorial, if not higher, caliber. If only there were more like him.

I wonder how this Judge feels about the Bar Exam? Would he want a MD who had failed those medical exams because he could only speak Spanish? /sarc
