I'm not entirely certain if anyone in RinkWorks goes to, or attented school in New York state. There has been arquements partaining to the effects of Regents examinations, and the requirements behind them. Is it fair to the students in lower grades to need to take harder, more difficult courses that they won't even use in their lifetime? I'm not certain if this is true for other states, but the way the regents exams have been changed, requiring now that you have to write full length essays and descriptions, requiring that students take 3 years of math, isn't right. People got along just fine with the old regents, and now it's guarenteed that a lot of people might fail due to the overwelming difficulties involved with it.
I'm doing a speech based on these changes to stress the unimportance of these changes, and luckily, I just made it passed some of the more difficult requirements for graduation. Is it different for other states? Also, I came across an article that mentioned that public schools are trying to get out if it. I put a link below if anyone wants to read this article.
If anyone wishes to send me feedback, I would much appreciate it.
