Because, why should you have to meet certain standards to say that you "graduated?" When you get enough credits to go on to college, or to get a job, or whatever you're after, then you can consider yourself "graduated."

Well, this is the equivilant of a "package degree" - it tells potential employers that you have taken classes, and met standards, in a certain employable area.

You wouldn't want to graduate with your class? I think it's more of a social thing, unless you have no friends and hate everybody at your school. And no kid wants to take science and mathematics in junior high and early on in high school. Requiring them to take those classes is what gets them interested in that sort of thing. Besides, a little advanced education in mathematics and science never hurt anybody.

I wanted to take math. I didn't really care about science, but I would've taken it anyway.

I didn't like science or math either, but I'm glad that I took them.

It's pretty natural to take them, and most people would, but I wouldn't care if I skipped all of, say, Geometry.

I agree with that man. Geometry was a bitch. I don't think geometry was required at my High School to graduate, but it was required to get into the college I'm at.
