I have very conflicting feelings on this and I was curious what others would think. For context, in the past 5-6 years, Ohio switched to a state testing system that made it much more difficult for many students to graduate. They’ve used a lot of band-aid solutions over the past few years so most kids have still been able to get their diploma, but earlier this year they have released their “permanent requirements” which says that students can pass the regular state tests, career tech tests, college classes, or join the military. There is also another “alternative pathway” that is very complicated and would require a lot of community service/internship hours.
In the US, I know it’s very common for disadvantaged high school students to be heavily recruited for the military and it’s seen by many as a pathway to a better life that would not otherwise be available to those students. But, I can’t help feeling weird about the state giving a student a diploma in exchange for (potentially life-threatening) military service.
What do you think?
