New York, under a new state plan, would drop its requirement that students pass traditional Regents exams to graduate from high school.
As an alternative, students could demonstrate skills through completion of research projects, public service and other achievement.
Supporters say the plan will help more students graduate; opponents counter by calling this a slip in standards.
