Tennessee School District May Back Diplomas With Warranties

This article in The Tennessean reports on a unique new program being considered by Williamson County schools in Tennessee. The school district may back its diplomas with a warranty. If any student graduating from a Williamson County school is forced to take remedial classes upon entering college, the school system will pay for those classes. Although the issue of boys isn't specifically addressed, this could be incentive for teachers to better address boys' struggles in their classrooms. It is also worth noting that Tennessee is currently one of the lowest-ranked states in the nation for education spending, and is also relatively low in the ranks on quality of education.
