Read the bill. Snopes?



Reading the statute doesn’t give any context. Also, people incorrectly and misleadingly quote snippets of law all the time on the internet because they don’t know how to read and interpret a statute.


The context you’re referring to seems to be that high school students must still have a certain number of credits in English and Math to graduate.

I’m not impressed.


My experience with standardized exit testing in California was just that all the relevant classes would temporarily pause teaching more advanced material to review the more basic material that was on the exams.

Perhaps the experience was more useful to those with more marginal academic retention, but inserting standardized tests doesn't inherently improve a student's education.
