A North High diploma mill?
Bianca McKerihan on May 27, 2011 in Education NewsThis excellent piece of reporting by Westwords Melanie Asmar exposes some scandalous practices in the credit recovery program at Denvers North High School. As a fomer North teacher says at the articles conclusion:
What sucks is that there are kids working their butts off for a diploma to mean something and there are kids getting diplomas from North who have earned every single credit on there plus more, says Brown. Then a bunch of other kids get the same diploma, and it devalues it.
She adds, Id hate forpeople to look at a transcript and say, Oh, they went to North? Theyll give a diploma to anyone.
Watch for this story to change some practices at North and probably other DPS high schools.
