Age has nothing to do with academic achievement. If the young person meets the standards to graduate, let ‘em graduate and move on to bigger things.

Merit beats policy.

The school system has a huge financial incentive to keep kids in school. The system gets paid by the Feds for every day the kid is in school. A couple of decades ago that pay was about $2500 per day. I have no idea what it is now. That pay keeps them from letting kids out early. Academic achievement doesn’t figure into the equation.

Academic achievement should come first, I’d think. We could have the makings of a genius here.

Absolute true. However, these idiots voted in the politicians who decided to make 16 the earliest you can attend college. Perhaps the mother should’ve thought twice before voting for who she did especially if she voted the Democrats. In two years, he’ll go to college and he’ll be fine or he just won’t graduate high school get his GED and go onto college immediately.

No, no, no, not in a commie trash DEI - controlled state. There are forms, policies, a process. Ability has nothing to do with it. You must take a knee to the “SYSTEM”.

Gawd says so, yah know.
