I’m having a hard time reading the entire article at the link given. It keeps locking up my browser. Does the article give a source for its information? I haven’t heard anything about this. It doesn’t make sense because every high school graduate has to pass a proficiency exam before they can receive a diploma. The state came up with the proficiency exam. The article mentions fireman, policeman, etc. Those aren’t state jobs. They are local jobs.
From the first line:....will accept only less educated student applicants for state, county and city jobs in the Volunteer State.
I'm proud to say, my youngest daughter was homeschooled in Tennessee, and will NOT be working for any State agency.
