his grades are very good. as you stated before, a s and b s. it s just this last component that he s unable to master. now, there is a process where you can go to the school board and you can ask for a waiver if you have a disability and in some cases, they grant that waiver so the kids get the real graduation diploma and in some cases, they don t. what did they tell you? they haven t told us anything. that s where the frustration comes in because the process seems entirely secretive. no one from the georgia department of education has reached out to us to explain the process. and from my understanding is that there are other parents just like my mom who have students just like my brother who have no answers. and it s just been such a frustrating process. well, let me see if this helps clarify for you. this is the statement from the georgia school board. our state school superintendent ran on several platforms one
kind of high school graduation diploma, be in college or, you know, in process of education, and it s similar to what the administration announced last year as far as it is a directive to all of the federal agencies on how to deal with this process. let s just hope that this directive gets all the way down to the judges and the people that are making the decision which has a direct impact on many hundreds of thousands of people s lives. i want to open it up to the panel a little bit. governor rendell, a lot of the show, the show we had planned was talking about yesterday s dueling speeches. the president versus mitt romney s. what this decision has done and what the president s remarks at 1:15 in the rose garden will do presumably is change the narrative in a big way, which is to say put the focus back on the subject of immigration, a place mitt romney does not want to go. in that sense, a masterful stroke from the president. i think it puts governor romney in a difficult position.
