The excellence vs. general is the standard in most areas. The excellence one looks like the extra math and science classes college bound students need.

However, letting schools set their own passing grades is a bit of an eye brow raiser. Let’s make 25 a passing grade!

There was a place in Miss/Ala where they were going to have lower passing grades for blacks and not for whites.

Well, when the students start having trouble meeting the "Excellence" standard, I suppose we'll reduce that to "Pretty Darned Good".
