## Resource

New York is ditching the Regents exams as the sole path to a high school diploma, starting with the class of 2028, sparking fierce debate over whether this move modernizes education or undermines academic standards. While officials argue students should prove mastery through multiple pathways—not just one test—critics fear it hides systemic failures without addressing root causes. The shift mirrors similar moves in Massachusetts, raising bigger questions about what a diploma should truly represent: a snapshot of test scores or a reflection of a student’s full academic journey.
