In what marks a historic moment in California education, nearly 42,000 seniors will not be eligible for a diploma this spring after failing the California High School Exit Exam, a rule that was enforced for the first time this year.

A High School Diploma is supposed to mean something.

A High School Diploma is supposed to mean something.



I will never forget the day we went to pick up graduation gowns a few days before graduation after completing four long years of high school. lol. Everyone was all excited and we were placed in alphabetical order. The guy who was in front of me was the same guy who had sat in back of me all four years of homeroom. He stepped up next to get his goan. He yelled out his name and then The Vice Principal said, "Sorry you are not graduating. You did not pass English this year." Well I was next and I was thinking "oh great. I hope my parents paid all the tuition" (Catholic school). I luckily squeeked by with regards to tuition and grades. I feel bad for the kid especially two days before graduation finding out and he was crying. It was kinda a weird situation, but that was the system they used for us and I guess it seems California is using their system. Everyone needs to live by the rules of the school.
