in order to get a high school diploma. only 16% of sophomores at a high school earned well on english last year and only 55%, slightly over half, were deemed pro proficient. the school district website is translated into 52 different languages. new london is the first district in the state of connecticut to pass such a rule. students at new london high school will have several testing options to demonstrate their command of english and will have until the age of 21 to meet the english requirement. here's the question. should u.s. high schools require students to speak english in order to graduate? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile and post a comment on my blog. >> that's amazing, jack. >> shocking new scenes of horror
