First

I am almost positive that I want to argue for having a required test to graduate high school. It has been something that I was thinking we should have even before we were going to think about what to write for this assignment. As bad as it will sound, I always kind of thought it would be funny to see how many people wouldn't graduate high school if there was something like a test to get out. We all know the people who just should not be allowed to get out of school, they simply have too much to learn. So many people are just coasting through school and not putting in any effort, and I don't think they deserve to graduate. And, if someone is putting in the effort and still cant pass the test, they need to spend more time in school to have the knowledge to survive in the real world, or in college. Other options after high school include going into work, or the military. Personally, I don't want someone who can't pass a test to graduate high school in the workforce, they could be a danger to themselves or others if given a job that invovled complex, dangerous equipment, or other hazardous conditions. For that reason, it is fairly obvious that I don't want someone who can't get through high school being given a gun and capability of killing people in the military. Therefore, there should be a test administered before graduation to determine if a student is going to be allowed to graduate high school.
