my school is lame.

i don't understand why we need so many things in order to graduate. state tests, senior projects, passing grades, etc. why can't we just graduate with passing grades? it would make our lives a lot more simpler.

it wouldn't make ANY sense if a senior had passing grades, and finished their senior projects, BUT they failed their state test. does this mean they can't graduate? even though they have straight A's on their report cards, and reached their requirements on the senior project? i don't understand.
