RI rejects sanity.

From Joanne Jacobs:

Rhode Island should stick with a single diploma, says Education Commissioner Deborah A. Gist, who’d proposed creating standard, “regents” and honors diplomas. Instead, she said districts should be able to add “endorsements” to the diploma to indicate higher levels of proficiency and honors.

Which is a shame, really. Having more than one diploma makes the students work harder for the better one.
