The Nevada Department of Education finally backed down and dropped the testing requirement for graduation. We forced them to stop holding our diplomas hostage over one single exam. Keep watching them to make sure they do not try to sneak this nonsense back in.

The momentum we have built makes it clear that Nevada students are finished with these broken testing mandates. The Board of Education can no longer ignore this massive movement to stop them from holding our futures hostage over a single flawed exam.

Standardized tests dont show how smart a person is. They just show who can sit still and bubble in circles for 4 hours.
FIX THIS NOW. Kids are losing their future over a stupid test score.
My son has a 3.8 gpa but cant get his diploma because of one math test. This is totally broken system.
Passed all my classes but failed the test by 2 points. Now I gotta wait another year. This is unfair.
I am smart already u don't need a test to twll e that. This is based of memorization, not knowledge .
Good idea they are what I call unfair!!

Ridiculous to hold back honors students over a proficiency test. Nevada schools are a joke.
