2,933 kids miss diploma over MCAS

While I do agree, that kids need to be trained for this century's workforce requirements, the new requirement for passing the science test has almost 3,000 kids not getting a diploma. While the numbers are not extreme and hundreds of thousands do pass, we are spending millions on educating the kids to pass one test. Someday this testing regime will go away and be replaced with broader educational based testing, after all, not everyone is going to be a scientist.
