Valerie Strauss writes at the Washington Post (3/20) "Answer Sheet" blog that "of the 50 accomplished adults who took an exam made up of questions from the New England Common Assessment Program, 60 percent received a score that would - if translated to Rhode Island's new diploma policy - put a student in jeopardy of graduating from high school." Strauss explains that the plan for the adults to take the test was "staged by the Providence Student Union, a high school student advocacy group, as a protest against a new state requirement that high school seniors must reach a certain level of proficiency on the exam to graduate."
