You Paid For It: Should High School Grads Get 2 Diplomas?
WENTZVILLE, MO. (KTVI) – State Representative Bryan Spencer from Wentzville says high schoolers should get two diplomas to graduate from high school instead of one. One diploma would be sort of a certificate saying the child attended high school. The second “academic” diploma would signify that the child actually learned something.
The academic diploma would be based entirely on the student passing four tests: Math, Science, English, and Social Science. Failing the tests would mean the student wouldn’t qualify for an academic diploma.
St. Charles School Superintendent Jeff Marion is one of those with doubts about this. He says it throws out all that a student accomplished over four years. Then pins the student’s future on passing four tests. This is something he believes would cause extreme anxiety on stressed students.
