High school seniors who haven t passed the requisite standardized tests to graduate could have an easier time sidestepping that requirement under a bill still pending at the Legislature.
Under current rules, a high school senior who has failed up to two of five end-of-course State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness but has passed all classes and fulfilled other requirements can graduate as long as a committee made up of the student s teacher,
the lead instructor for the subject, principal and parents gives unanimous consent.
House Bill 999 would allow a student who failed as many as five
exams to petition a graduation committee. Each failed exam would require a separate petition.
Suffused with a deeply earnest sense of self-seriousness but not a shred of humor, camp or self-awareness, "A Quiet Place" is horror for people who don t seem to like horror all that much.
"A Quiet Place Part II" offers the chance to take the concept and run with it, but in keeping with his own characters moronic decision-making, writer/director John Krasinski instead stays right where he started.
