If I make the exam the criterion of passage, they should be able to pass out
of the course as soon as - or before - they register. That's what's so
incredibly stupid about all the standards vocabulary in American Education
these days, incidentally, since the boobs who are pushing a single-test
measure are surely not ready to accommodate those who meet that measure
ahead of schedule: they all want more hours in schools, rather than REALLY
mean what they say about standards.
It would be interesting to find out how many students graduated early
through the New York State Regents' exams, since they were once a standard
in the State of New York, which was once the largest and most progressive
state in education. Times change.
