Students, Faculty Oppose Comprehend Test Plan at NY
In a survey at Nishna Valley high school, students and faculty voiced strong doubts about a four year comprehensive high school diploma test. Quotes from Don Haseall, Joe Lees, Marsha Palmer, Mryna Ballain, Janet Rydberg, Wayne Burk, and Keith Hart reflect belief that such a test would not motivate nonstudious students and could lead to cramming rather than genuine learning.
