There is a trend toward a “blended credit stream” at the high school level, meaning that credits can be accepted from other institutions, like transfer credits from other high schools, credits from college courses, online courses, credit by examination and from other sources. Our high school graduates need to learn and be able to demonstrate many things to be successful in securing a job or continuing in higher education. We need to broaden our thinking as to how students are educated. For more than three decades, American public education has been “dumbed down” by offering watered-down curriculums, passing students on to the next grade or even graduating those who have not mastered content and by surrendering to various social fads, such as “every child should go to college.”
Vast changes should be made.
