well here is the info. its from an email i got.
Look at this read it and tell me what you think
The "Certificate of Completion or Attendance" that is being
offered in lieu of high school diplomas, is a part of Bush's "No Child
Left Behind". This is how it works:
It is for students who are unable to pass both the Language Arts
and Math portions of the 10th grade ISTEP. Students must take the same
10th grade test over in the 11th and 12th grades until they pass both
portions. If they are unable to pass the 10th grade test by the 12th
grade
then
they have two options:
1. Drop out and go to a GED program or,
2. accept a "Certificate of Completion" - it is NOT a diploma.
Once a student accepts it, they cannot ever get a diploma or a GED. A
certificate of completion means that a student can never (as long as
they live):
1. go to the armed services
2. go to college
3. go to trade school
4. go to journeyman's school
5. go to beauty school
6. go to culinary arts school
7. get a federal loan in their lifetime
This is the portion of NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND (2001) that Bush slipped in
during
the 2004 revision of the NCLB bill. It has not been publicized. At a
high
school
in Indiana, in 2005, there were 87 seniors in the graduation class. Five
got
diplomas and 82 got "Certificates of Completion".
This is being referred to as the "Paper Plantation". It is better for
students to drop out and get into a GED program so they may seek other
forms of education, later in life, if they desire to do so. All 50
states have "Certificates of Completion or Attendance". Please pass
this information along to EVERYONE you know who has school age children.
Clergy,
please preach it from the pulpits. Our people MUST know this
information.
Thank you & stay blessed.
