  1. How will less standardized tests affect students? How did the number of standardized tests in the past years become a problem for student's time in class?
  2. Now that students only have to take 3 credits of science, math, and social studies, how does this give them more flexibility in other classes? How does the current 4x4 graduation plan for graduating seniors this year differ from the years to come?
  3. English is the only academic course requiring 4 credits still, why is this the only core subject requiring 4 instead of 3 like the others?
  4. How does the updated plan, which is said to give students endorsements in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM); business and industry, give students more opportunities? The bill is said to give student's a greater variety of curriculum, what kinds of curriculum will be offered to students? Is it any different than the academies provided to students?
  5. What is the Foundation High School Program? 
  6. Do you think the bill is reasonable and more convenient for students? how?
  7. How does this bill help student's reach individual potential more than it has in the past years?
  8. A student is not required to retake an EOC each time the student fails it. The bill eliminates the requirement that student performance on end of course exams must account for 15% of the student’s course grade. How can this benefit the students? What is your opinion on this rule?
  9. The new bill is said to be tougher on students, why would some people believe this?
  10. That “distinguished level of achievement” is required for students to qualify for automatic admission to state universities if they graduate in the top of their classes. Do you believe every student should be on the distinguished plan?
  11. Do you think students will respond well to the new bill? How do you feel about the changes to come in the next years?
