State consumers test exempts students from required class
On September 9, 1986, 148 Maine West students took a Consumers test, which, if they receive a passing score, will exempt them from having to complete a Consumers Education Course.
Consumers Ed. here at West is a quarter long class for a quarter of a credit. If a student passes the test he does not have to take the class, nor does he receive a credit.
Mr. Johnson, student personnel director, stated, "If a student has taken and passed General Business, Home Planning/ Interior Design, or Consumers Ed. already, there's no advantage in taking the exam,"
"It is a state mandated exam," explained Mr. Johnson. "Our whole district gave the test and we follow the guidelines set down by the state."
At the beginning of next year the test will be given again to students in any class level who wish to take it.
