Chicago high schools might start denying students a diploma if they don’t prove they have a plan after high school, the city’s mayor announced Wednesday.

A new proposal would force students to provide proof of some kind of plan post-graduation in order to receive a diploma, whether that be a college or job acceptance letter, proof of acceptance into the military, or some other approved path, such as a “gap year” program or acceptance into a trade school, reports The Wall Street Journal.

“The goal here is to no longer have 12th grade be the end of our responsibility,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emaunuel Wednesday as he announced the proposal. “The economy and business today require a minimum of two years post-high school.”

One of my son's went through that here in WA State.

He did it but expressed his anger when he went before the board of teachers to present his plan.
My wife and I were there when he did it.

We didn't make him do it, it was his own anger which he expressed.

I must say though I felt a moment of pride

Talk about counterproductive.

Rahm wants to deny a diploma to students who have earned it.

Students will just lie about their post graduation plans, or lack of them, to go ahead and get the diploma.

It's an unenforceable rule and makes no sense at all.
