Oklahoma’s Governor announced new High School graduation requirements that give only 3 options: college, trade school, or the military

wait a second, is this even real? what's the source that this is going into effect?

even republicans are questioning this on twitter

I’d have to see the details because you never know with these GOP plans but I don’t think this is that big an issue. We already do a similar thing here in Louisiana. If you plan to go to college you get a traditional diploma where you have to take Physics, Precalculus, etc and if you plan to go to the military , trade school, start working etc, you opt of that path and you don’t have to take those classes and that’s the only difference

Damn Yall fukked in the South bc that shyt ain't working

im not quite sure if you understand that the gov and ryan walters plans are to kill public education entirely in lieu of charter/private schools that most people cant afford. hes gutting public education and you're for it?

I didn’t know this is the case. Do you have a link of some sort that explains in detail how he plans on implementing this….. Killing public education is damn near impossible

 

[Wild self]

Very anti-American. The college degree (Bachelor's) is being devalued as we speak. Either go into debt at trade school, go into debt at college, or join the military

They want more brain dead soldiers that are illiterate and people to hate knowledge.

Prepping students for career paths is a great idea. Making it a requirement to graduate is a problem. It restricts their ability to make a choice. Where is the choice for starting a business? Also, are universities going to change their recruiting requirements and take less out-of-state-students and give priority to in-state students. We are talking about money here. Will OK increase financial aid because trade schools can see this as an opportunity to raise tuition since it'll fall within a requirement. We have seen this before when the Federal government got into the student loan business. Lastly with DEI being none existent, who do you think will be impacted the most?

So if you choose one of those tracts, you are prohibited from starting a business after graduation?

[boogers]

What about disabled people who can't do none of things mentioned after High School?

Then as taxpayers we need to fight for public education reform….They’ll keep feeding us shyt if we willingly digest it

This is a bad thing?

I'm reading the comments and I'm with you


Sure things can be tweaked and added to this but as a starting point, it's straightforward to me

 

[ItsPeople]

I really can’t see how this is a bad thing

confusing ass thread

not even sure if its real or not. and on top of that, the majority of responses disliking the premise only because of who said it.
if bowser pushed something similar, there'd be a parade planned already

A lot of dumbasses will see this as a positive. It's like their simple brains can't look past the surface level of the "good" and care for future generations it provides while not realizing this has sooooo many bad implications all over.

Not to mention that this is the same state where they're making kids read the Bible even if it isn't part of their religion.

The Trump Bible at that

confusing ass thread

man its nuanced as hell but i see it daily. people in OK are already dumb as dirt, destroying the school system will turn this state into even more of a third world country. if you saw this and had no idea about the fukkery stitt and walters get up to, yeah i could see it as a good thing.

im guilty of it too but a lot of posters dont read past the headline

For the students who can't afford it right away, they will be more likely to drop out of school and be impoverished.

For the students who can afford, they will be encouraged to rush into a major money draining decision that will put them in debt for years, only for them to realized halfway through college that this isn't actually what they want. Now they gotta start over in their 30s with less time and more debt.

In fact its not really beneficial at all. anybody who wants to go to college. military or trade school, can do that anyway. No pro's to this whatsoever just cons.

also the fact that we are forced to pay taxes for a public school education. means we should be entitled to our highschool diploma without any conditional aspects other than grades. this means they can be forced to pay for something they can't actually participate fully in.


Also imagine the kid that wants to go to college, but didn't get accepted into any, now he gotta drop of out high school? Thats fukked up. Can't even allow him to stay on a waiting list and see if he gets in next semester? No he just gotta give on his dreams
