No kidding.
California's exam tests 10th-grade English, ninth-grade math and level-one algebra. Students need to answer 60 percent of the questions correctly to pass each section.
Liliana Valenzuela, a plaintiff and a senior at Richmond High School, has a 3.84 grade-point average and is 12th in her class of 413, according to the lawsuit. She said she passed the math portion of the test on her first try but has been unable to pass the English section.
"I have been on the honor roll for the last four years. ... I really wanted to wear my cap and gown."
She's a senior, has a 3.84 grade-point average, is 12th in her class of 413, has been on the honor roll for the last four years and yet cannot get a 60% on a 10th-grade English exam?
Pffft.
Looks like the fix was in on her high school grades,doesn't it?
I'd be ashamed to admit I couldn't pass the test---I'd lock myself in my room and study harder.
Bet her self esteem and tolerance for diversity is high though---that's what seems to count these days.
