Bill to Bypass Exams OK'd

In response to the article, Bill to Bypass Exams OK'd, the standard requirements to graduate high school in Texas are being lowered. The standards to graduate high school should be set at the minimum of if you passed all required classes and the end of course exams for those classes, you can graduate. These standards are low enough for most students to pass.

Two Texas Senators, Kelly Hancock (NRH) and Jane Nelson (Flower Mound), voted against the bill. I think these two Senators voted against the bill because they think this is an easy way out of high school for seniors.

Majority of senators are in support of this new bill. These senators are only considering the way these students not graduating will affect how Texas is viewed. A high rate of students not graduating high school makes the state as a whole look bad. These  students not graduating will not be able to find jobs and eventually careers because a basic necessity for any job is a completed high school graduation.
