Should graduates be issued an exit exam? Why or why not?

High school diploma problem?

• i live in california and i passed the exit exam plus i got b's and c's in all of my classes i am now a senior but i am still in algebra because its too hard for me, and the school says that if i dont pass algebra and geometry i wont get a high school diploma does anyone think this is complete bull,ive been going to school for 3 yaers now and have perfect attendance so was the past 3 years a waste of time if i cant prove to people that i learned a lot of stuff like history science etc....?. because without a diploma i have no proof besides what was the point of passing the exit exam if it doesent prove that i know what i need to know too graduate what are your thoughts about one class deciding wether one graduates or not regardless of his or her accomplishements in other classes and subjects?

• Answer:

  Get a math tutor. All you have to do is pass math and then you can forget it all the day you graduate. I cannot add without using my fingers and I have advanced university level math, because I needed it, LOL!
