Bridget Green, the valedictorian of Alcee Fortier Senior High School in New Orleans, Louisiana, failed to graduate because she flunked the math portion of the exit exam five times.
Bridget received an A in her Algebra II class and top grades in all her other classes yet she couldn't pass this basic test. How can someone who failed a 10th level math test get an A in Algebra II? And the most shocking part is that the principal was shocked that this would happen.
I don't know whether to feel sorry for her or to be angry at the school system especially after taking a look at the sample questions.
