New Hampshire Bill Proposes Fewer Requirements For High School Graduation

The article by Peter Greene on Forbes discusses a new legislative proposal in New Hampshire aimed at reducing the number of requirements for high school graduation. The bill, introduced by Republican state representative Glenn Cordelli, seeks to eliminate the mandate for students to complete courses in world languages, arts, and technology education. Instead, it would allow local school districts to decide what courses are necessary for graduation, promoting a more localized control over educational content. This move is part of a broader push towards educational freedom, where the focus would shift from meeting state-mandated credits to ensuring students are prepared for post-secondary education or the workforce. Critics argue that this could lead to disparities in educational quality across different districts, potentially disadvantaging students in less affluent areas. Supporters, however, believe it empowers local communities and schools to tailor education to meet the specific needs and interests of their students.
