Description

Explore the complex debate surrounding high school graduation requirements in Goodbye To Excellence: A Critical Look At Minimum Competency Testing. As states implement mandatory tests to ensure graduates possess basic skills like reading directions or managing finances, Dr. Lazarus examines the real-world impact of these policies. This book provides a deep look into how testing schemes can create inequities within the educational system. Because society places such high value on a high school diploma, the consequences of these tests are significant. Dr. Lazarus argues that a just society must consider how these assessments might mark a student for life. This work, part of the Naesp Studies in Education and Public Policy series, offers a necessary perspective on whether these mandates truly promote better education or simply create new barriers for students. It is an essential read for those studying the intersection of education, public policy, and social equity.
