(4,695 posts)keeping charters away because of oversight, but something has taken the place of oversight, parents and Unions. The State board of Education has approved removing Algebra II, Physics and Chemistry from the graduation curriculum. Removal of an appropriate education comes in the form of a non-college bound high school diploma in the State of Texas. Students can make the choice of graduation plans by being lazy and not doing the school work required. These students that are not going to college, and they are not ready to go to work, either. Low graduation rates and low scores means vouchers. Vouchers are for private religious schools or charters, which is now the entire system in Louisiana.
Texas Public educators are outraged. Students (in the Senior year) who realized their mistake will fail an elective class credit so they can spend a 5th year in high school getting the courses in, for the college bound graduation plan diploma.
Privatizers and Profiteers, need to keep out of public education which is currently counter to the US Department of Education and democracy.
