I have to agree with you about the Ca testing. My son passed the English part as a freshman but didn't pass the Math part until he was a junior. He managed to pass Integrated Math I and Integrated Math II but failed the Math state test by a couple points as a freshman and sophmore. FInally, he decided to take it seriously and told me he totally tried to pass the test.................amazing how much of a difference it made.........he passed by a very wide margin. I am glad he passed it even though the state dropped the mandatory requirement. Many of the kids that would have been facing next year's final attempts would have probably passed. I do believe that the state went into a panic. It thought it would be facing an embarrassing situation with so many kids in the failing category. They didn't have the courage to leave it up to the teachers and students. Pat
