Oregon wants to dumb down graduation standards so it can hide how badly it is failing our kids

Schools in Oregon are badly failing our kids. But the state's Department of Education and the legislature want to scrap more proficiency standards to cover up their failures to educate.

The law requires that the Oregon Department of Education make recommendations to the Legislature to review state requirements for high school diplomas including the Essential Skills Test. Through this law, the legislature lowered the bar for kids because the system is so broken that they feared graduating seniors can’t meet a 10th grade proficiency level.
Earlier this month, the Oregon Department of Education released their proposed changes to the Essential Skills Test and other requirements to earn an Oregon High School diploma.
