During the 60's we allowed any student who could pass 'Underwater Basket Wea v- ing' to graduate. Jon Hanna: fMath Competency, Geometry, English Read!Writej The high school proficiency test reminds me a little of Prop. 73. Just as the proposi- tion was designed to correct weaknesses in govern- mental policy, the test was created to correct weak- nesses in our educational system.

Everyday Living Math, Comput- ers, and English were examples of the diversified capabilities of the math department, in addition to the regulars like algebra, geome- try, and trigonometry. These classes were taught by our resi- dent math teachers. The math teachers were asked: What do you think of the competency testing? Dean Housel: fAlgebra, Mathj We have been grad- uating people who don't care whether they learn 4 anything or not until they get out of school and find they can't operate efficiently.
