"Lebanon school board members voted 4-1 Thursday to end a requirement that current juniors and seniors pass eighth-grade state assessment tests before receiving diplomas."
Can you believe that Lebanon is giving diplomas to seniors who cannot read, write or do math at 8th grade level? Those board members who voted to allow this need fired. What a bunch of bull! Click post title to go to this very sad state of affairs in Lebanon education story.
Well, I suppose removing any requirements for actually learning anything in school, in order to graduate, is so tempting and easy.
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

I agree with you. Instead of working to meet standards, Lebanon is throwing out the standards. Great.
