High school equiv exam
I have been looking with horror and speculation at the new equivalency test they are giving seniors before they graduate. They might have the credits, but if they don't pass the test, they won't pass high school. That just gives me, personally, the chills...as I really do badly on tests in general, but specifically high school. I was lucky to graduate from high school, and I know it. I wanted to give up and just forget it, and my mom had to tell me that A-just see about getting your diploma at least, and then B-I realized a librarian needs to have a master's degree in order to be a librarian...so that idea was out. My whole graduation was based on Chemistry class, and I was lucky to get a C. I had a great lab partner, otherwise I would have been lost. I did poorly on my SATs, so I barely got into college as it was. I would have NEVER graduated from high school if the equivalency exam was in effect at the time, no matter how hard I studied. I am happy I went to high school when I did I guess.
Bleah.
