re: #401 Killer Tomato

Massachusetts - The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted 8-2 Tuesday to waive for at least two years the history and social science subject graduation requirement slated to kick in for students in the class of 2012.

Sorry - hurried cut & paste - left out…

History testing in all grades (grades 5, 7, and 10/11) for 2009 and 2010 as well as the graduation requirement for high school students will be suspended. The high school History and Social Science exam was slated to become part of the state’s graduation requirement for students beginning with the class of 2012.

History? Who needs to know about that?
