RE: They still have to show proficiency. These days they might learn it better not in a high school class.
Let me try to understand this — calculus, chemistry and physics are STILL required for acceptance but it will not be based on any test ( not even the SAT), but a simple certification from Khan Academy?
If we could trust them, I’d be ok with testing for competency because there are people out there who know these things but didn’t learn it in a classroom. They went out and bought the textbooks and self studied their way to completion.
But I don’t trust them. I think not requiring proficiency is just a step towards removing the education altogether.
Read more carefully. I did not read what you just said.
