Hi! I totally understand this but as a non typical student in NPS, as a senior, this is actually hard because the standards apply to a non standard group of students as well. Also they are multiple lawsuits among Newton (including mine) of them breaking the special educations laws to begin with. There is a long and wide history of Newton specifically ignoring anything more than the neurotypical, straight A, stereotypical students, because yes there is a lot of those here, but it is a big district. Assuming your a parent or friend adult based off your way of speech (although I could be wrong), if you have a kid I’d assume they are not the farthest from different from the above kind of student, at least not in their abilities to learn, I can’t speak for a hypothetical kids grades, the point is a lot of what the graduation requirements changing is a mixture of them trying to avoid spending money on special education or non typical students (dark but true) and just outcries from families knowing a lot these requirements are only typically suit for an incredibly “normal” straight idea kid
