With the impacts of the pandemic and remote learning, as well as other issues, a review of whether they are fair and good for all is warranted.

As long as there is an asterisk on the diploma and permanent record, sure.

Testing is a key tool to make sure graduates have basic skills down, and shouldn't be paused for revision!

I think the requirements for passing classes remains in effect. It's just the state tests that are suspended. I don't agree with that.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!? NO!! NO!! You are making our next generation functionally illiterate. When it comes to knowing what this generation needs to sign, (such as contracts, loans etc.) they will have no clue what they are signing because they can't read, write, do math. be in debt fast! NO!!!

This reflects the failure of Oregon's education system. Is it more focused toward social issues than reading, writing and arithmetic?

OF COURSE IT IS. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR KIDS ANYMORE. IT IS ALL ABOUT STAYING IN CONTROL OF EVERYONE. THE LESS A PERSON KNOWS, THE EASIER TO CONTROL.

Why are we neglecting our students and dumbing down education? Oregon has become a backward state. Appalachia west. Sad!

Instead of addressing our continuously poor scores, the Governor just threw them out. That isn't helping our students. Their diplomas will be virtually useless now. They don't mean anything.

No. Lynn Owen is right. It is dumbing down our kids.

Another ridiculous idea from the Democratic control over OR. How are our kids going to be responsible,, working adults if they are not able to function in the real world. KIds need basic education, reading , writing and math NOT social programs. I hope the school districts will implement testing.

Absolutely not. What will that accomplish other than dumbing down America? It will tend to make diplomas suspect and ultimately worthless.

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
