>> Hey, with this new curriculum, spelling doesn't count. It's all about the concept and phonetics. Forget grammar and spelling, at least you tried...
@allymansfield:
I'm surprised the government hasn't found a way to "round up", and down, letters like they do for Math. Sigh.
@ctl74: Ugh, it is just scary. I am two years older than my husband. We both grew up in NY, just different parts. The difference in the requirements for our HS diplomas is amazing. Look out two more years to his younger sister, even easier. Two more years down from there to his youngest sister....basically you have to be able to "fog a mirror" as he would say. The value of my diploma verses his youngest sister who is 6 years younger than I is vast. She now works as a "journalist" for a paper in VT. I can not even read her articles, it literally makes me want to murder her and her editors. I just can't.
