More high schools ditching final exams

We have EOC’s for specific classes. My S will be taking the US History EOC on Monday.

In our system, the EOC is the final (counts 25% toward year end grade). I’m a little worried about this one as S’s history teacher is straight out of college and has done a poor job of teaching the course, mostly following the outlines of each chapter. Covered entire wars in 2 class periods. S, an avid History channel watcher has corrected the teacher several times or added more in-depth info to a subject that our young football coach knew nothing about!

Young teacher/football coach also told them there would be little to no homework becaue he never liked it as a student and didn’t really want to have to grade it!

I think this is the last EOC S will have to take and can only hope all those hours of the History channel will serve him well.
