Great moments in public education

The problem is that too many kids are failing the high school exit exam in California. The solution? Throw out the test, of course.

The test is blatantly unfair:

"This year's 12th-graders were the first class to face the testing requirement, which includes a section of eighth-grade math and another of ninth- and 10th-grade English. Students are required to answer little more than half of the questions correctly and can take the test multiple times. Students with learning disabilities were exempted from the test."

Here's the article.
