Someone should remind Oregon that schools are supposed to make students smarter.
The state’s Democratic governor, Kate Brown, signed a bill late last month that drops proficiency requirements for high school students over the next three years. This means that high school seniors will no longer need to prove they are proficient in math, reading, and writing to qualify for graduation. In other words, they won’t have to prove they learned anything at all.
