I'm not sure who wrote this, but I have a question: What happens when students enter school in high school and have only 3 years, for example, in which to learn English and complete graduation requirements? Are they exempt? Are they still eligible for a diploma? Can they try for a Regents diploma? These are all serious questions here in Maryland, where we are moving to a set of 12 high school assessments, of which students will be required to successfully complete 10 for graduation.
