How could this happen to me, of all people?” many students might have had reason to ask. For, whether it was a disad- vantage or advantage, the 3,823 people at Skyline were in a special situation unlike any other school in the country. Vocational programs faced the problem of budget cuts as state reforms placed more emphasis on “basic” subjects. Still, Skyline students had the unique benefit of courses in everything from auto mechanics to hor- ticulture, cinematography to advanced anatomy, Japanese to Russian. Educational reforms on the district, local and national levels became a regular part of school life. Seniors could not graduate without having passed the TEAMS test, a state-wide math and literacy exam. Juniors were required to have 21 cre- dits, including a semester of computer sci- ence and fine arts. All faced the burden of district “learner standards” tests, counting 10 percent of their semester finals in academic courses. Extracurricular activities continued to be affected by the “no-pass, no-play” rule. The make-up of sports teams changed as seniors became the last to be able to play under the M M transfer rule. In the future, only those living in Skyline’s district would be able to join sports teams. 2 OPENING»Breaking from the pack Where’s the flood?
