LETTER: Clark County’s lax graduation standards

As a former secondary school teacher, I am opposed to graduating students who cannot pass an eighth-grade skills test. When I taught, if students could not qualify to graduate or maybe dropped out, they could get a GED diploma.

My suggestion is that “senior” students who cannot qualify for graduation at mid-term be enrolled in a GED program, controlled by the Clark Count School District, for their final semester and then could graduate with a GED diploma (assuming they pass).
