If Kids Pass Exit Exam in 10th Grade, Let Them Leave School

Believe it or not, one can take the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) as a sophomore.  There are two parts—Math and English. If one passes it the first time around, then one no longer needs to take it.

Actually, many students do pass it in the 10th grade. The name of the test then begs the question: Why can’t I get a diploma and go to community college when I would "normally" be a high school junior?  

The dictionary definition of exit is "going out or away; departing." In this case, where would I be leaving from?  High school.  One can say: "I passed the CAHSEE as a 10th-grader.  The State of California calls it an Exit Exam. I see no need to continue taking classes in high school. I want outta here."

All we need is one parent of a sophomore who passed both parts of the CAHSEE to sue a school district for a diploma for their 10th-grader if they want them to go to community college the following year. If they call it an Exit Exam, then let them have their son or daughter go to community college as a high school graduate if they so desire.  

Maybe one parent can file a class action lawsuit for parents of students in a similar situation. Is there such a parent out there?  Is there an education law attorney out there who would take on the case if we can find such a parent?  

Let's have the California High School EXIT Exam live up to its name.
