So far, I like what I am hearing. I believe having all students be automatically on track to start college upon graduation is a good thing. Though... I am developing questions. https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512694 2021-06-22 23:40:15 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512694 I think that it is a good thing to require them at the public schools at this point, but I do agree that some students would not do well with these new requirements, so it's not fair to them. It just seems that more and more jobs are requiring a college degree jeanniebailly https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512707 2021-06-22 23:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512707 oliver_hunt https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512734 Though I am still a bit skeptical, there is a cogent argument connecting A-G requirements to an increased level of college enrollment (out of high school)

My thoughts have not changed. ]]> 2021-06-22 23:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620512791 Making sure that students are in alignment with the ability to go to college makes sense as long as they have alternative pathways. https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513058 2021-06-22 23:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513058 I'm realizing how different my high school experience was from many of my students in terms of required classes - I think I took for granted being on a track to go to a four year university right when I got to high school. That's probably why I didn't know about A-G requirements before this, because I was automatically doing them in high school and planning on going to a four year university mvandeusen1 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513145 2021-06-22 23:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513145 droman17 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513347 It's a way to ensure student's have a pathway towards a 4 year college with some exceptions. ]]> 2021-06-22 23:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513347 tbarajas2 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513512 I am realizing that I had no idea of any of this information when I was in high school. ]]> 2021-06-22 23:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620513512 It would most likely be negative, because they do not have a grasp of the English language yet. jeanniebailly https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620533915 2021-06-22 23:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620533915 oliver_hunt https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620533923 It would likely depend on the individual (any individual, of any background)...

It could keep them from going into a university in four years. ]]> 2021-06-22 23:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534041 Having to complete the A-G requirements would most likely affect the student negatively. tbarajas2 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534131 2021-06-22 23:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534131 Creating programs that are essentially one size fits all are going to fail for many including many cases of newcomers, and others that have different pathways in mind. https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534163 2021-06-22 23:57:39 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534163 It seems like it could be a difficult experience for a student who is a newcomer. I think as in most situations it would depend on the student though. mvandeusen1 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534235 2021-06-22 23:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534235 droman17 https://padlet.com/paul_gregorian/e4co1fvappt0ulox/wish/1620534707 Depends on the student and what are their goals when it comes to education.
