Graduation requirements

There's a series of items here--on civics, science, and math--around which we're having some discussion regarding graduation requirements. Superintendent Boone is asking that they be taken together as part of the conversation regarding MassCORE.
Civics is being taken independently; the other two taken together.
I should note that part of the conversation here brought up the "college" track which does not track one for college. As courses are being reviewed, parents and students will receive close counseling regarding what courses get them where.

They STILL have a track called "college" that really means "not college"? Augh!

Yes. BUT at least now administration acknowledges it and is apparently going to let parents know that.
Yes, it is silly. At best.
