Is this really a good idea:

High school seniors who fear they won't pass Utah's new accountability tests in time for graduation this spring can breathe a little easier -but only a little.
The Utah Board of Education on Thursday decided students who fail the tests can receive real high school diplomas, not just certificates of completion. But students still have reason to stress over what those diplomas will say because they must state whether students have passed the reading, math and science portions of the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT).


Fear!? And will the school determine who is afraid and who isn't Why have the test?
