Ellen Vietor from St. Louis Graduates writes, "The current Date question type requires that the answer to be in the standard 00/00/0000 format.  We ask for a high school graduation month and year.  We have to do it as a short answer because we believe that students who graduated any time other than this year will not know the DAY.  They will know date and month.  We have a number of current college students and non-traditional students who use our system.    The problem with the way we asked it (month/year as a short answer) is that it can’t be used as qualifying criteria when trying to identify current high school seniors."
