From the school point of view each day a student shows up for at least a minute or three is money from the feds to the state to the school district. So there reason is funding for higher paychecks.

For the student it's social time.

For the student the goal is not to graduate because board certified morons aren't eligible for the draft.

For other any sort of diploma will do to get a student loan from the feds and they don't believe that story about getting drafted.

After looking at the students the military doesn't want to believe that story.

But since girls do better than boys they want girls added to the draft ....just in case.

Not it isn't true. For example people who don't do the work such as the 3.2 seconds it takes to do the question get a C- which is failing.. An and B are called High Pass and Low passing.

Forgive me for asking. Is it true you just made that up. Mights well earn the minus point while I'm at it.

Why? you get a point up from me.

I don't know is it? Or is that another story from beyond the looking glass.

Statistically 90% of those accepted for student loans on the basis of social promotions never make it past the freshman year. this is where the Mexico system shines tall. Even after high school secondaria of three years and prepa or preparation for advanced training of three more years they must sit for an exam to enter any form of training be it baking cakes or becoming a surgeon. The medical schools go one beyond that and give yet another examination. They are all two days in length. For medical if they don't qualify to become a doctor they often are able to get nurse or technician training so it's selective as well as acceptive. That doesn't get you in but it gets you on the list. then it's a matter of tuition. There is very little in the way of scholarships or tuition assistance compared to north of the border. Often entire extended families chip in. But some organizations like Rotary work in that area as well. Once graduated and working the are expected to pay back loans and help some other follow on as well. No such thing as social promotion.

Preparatory level included an exam in English as well as Spanish. no one cares about your self esteem. That's expected if you had what it takes to get up those rungs there's plenty of that to be found and self respect as well.

Extended training is available for example. Someone wants to be come a baker up to including wedding cakes and the fancy expensie stuff. three years. the one year in how to run a business is added.

Job openings. No problem for a morticians assistant! Wonder why that is?

Suppose the other states followed the suggestion of denying recognition to Maryland diplomas or any diplomas using such a system.

Would not Article IV full faith and credit and interference with interstate trade and commerce come into play?

Consider this a bit of gas on the fire.

Berekely and one professor automatically gave his students A's if they attended or not based on racial profiling and reverse discrimination. Some of this went on at UC Davis as well. In Oregon at one time employers didn't have a space for high school graduates and refused to honor diplomas same in Florida. They also refused scholarship applications in some states.
