> Not everyone performs well on tests

Bullshit logic that is failing kids.

> or having high enough grades in your regular education

And creates a path for schools to teach nothing and still grant diplomas. Tests is how you test how well a charter school is working.

As others have pointed out-

1. ⁠It happened at a private school

2. ⁠It happened in an Optional Class

3. ⁠The kids had to get waivers from their parents to participate

4. ⁠The kids themselves had the option to opt out

So, if you don’t like it, just don’t sign the waver. Nobody was or is forcing these kids to see stuff without both their, and their parents consent first.

Confidently incorrect. Senate Bill 1095 that was signed into law 10/14/2018 provided four alternatives to only the Keystone exam deciding a high school student's fate. Not everyone performs well on tests, especially ones that are as high stakes as the Keystone exam and Bill 1095 simply added alternatives to that one test as a requirement for graduation. Those alternatives are all based on either passing the Keystone exam outright or having high enough grades in your regular education with supplemental proof of post-high school education readiness.

Well, who in their damn minds thinks this is a good idea?

I’ve kept all of my old plates - slowly covering the inside of my garage.

There are a lot of people that sell items from their garden along the road.

Just keep it. I have all my old license plates.

I don't think there's any legal problem with you keeping a plate from your old car.

I don't think the linked document applies to your case. PennDot will allow you to return old plates so they can't be used fraudulently, but there's not many cases where plate return is required. I believed it was only for revocation of registration, or if you choose to cancel car insurance.

Other states are neurotic about returning plates. Don't let stories from outside the commonwealth spook you.

I have my old plate and several of my parents' old plates. Just never returned them and nobody ever asked for them. They're on display along the I-beam in the garage.

Do me a favor and look up the chemical formula for vinyl chloride, and then please google polyvinyl chloride's chemical formula. Then open up a dictionary and find the word poly for me. Thank you.

I did not know that Kevin Bacon was from Philly.

PS: I actually thought Stallone was from Philly too. Color me surprised that he's actually from Hell's Kitchen in New York; he moved to Philly later when he was in high school.

Shapiro did not approve of any burning

You should've paid attention in science class if you think this is remotely in the same ballpark as Chernobyl, which btw, ends with an L.

This is what I was thinking when everyone was praising the 9 year old who "graduated high school."

What kind of education did he really receive? Was it truly worthy of the diploma?

Here's a good overview of comparisons to other countries and also within the US

We're 12th when comparing to other peer countries and we are below benchmarks for education spending by some measures. At one time, what you are saying here was true. But it isn't so much true anymore.

I kept all mine. It's destroyed - it's hanging up on the wall of my garage.

I'm sure you'll be fine unless you put it on another vehicle. They really have no way of knowing if it's hanging on your wall or shredded.

Yes, but road side stand no one is going to mess with you unless they involve the tax man.

No way. I’m so shocked.

Regardless of rules and regulations, it would be a good idea to contact an insurance agent to purchase liability insurance. My father has vendor insurance for craft shows that he attends, and he also established an LLC to protect his assets in the worst case scenario of a lawsuit. You could check with the directors of the farmers market for the specific rules in their community.
