What is wrong with you people? These exit tests aren't geared for students to fail. These tests are set up for todays kids to learn what is needed at high school levels to be successful not only in college but in life. It's definately not a race issue and if you make it that shame on you. English is our first language so quit making excuses for students not to learn it. If todays students can't pass these mastery test in english what is that saying and don't place blame on the teachers. As a parent I recall spending many of hours with my son to learn how to properly write a paper. Students as well as parents and teachers need to take on their own responsiblities in learning what is necessary to survive in todays society.
