I wanted to graduate mid-term in 12th grade. Counselor discouraged it. We’d miss out on senior ditch day and the stature of being a senior on campus. Then I became aware of a popular girl who graduated a whole year early.
It’s butts in the seats to the establishment. Money. A big waste of time I can’t have back.
16 year-olds should be allowed to take the GED and upon passing they should be free to get on with their lives without the schools dictating anything.
I agree with GED but lower the age to about 10. My homeschoolers were in college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13.
1) All government teachers should be required to take and pass the GED every 5 years. My bet is most would fail.
2) All government teachers should be required to take and pass the full series of college calculus classes. Do most teachers need it? No....But...I would mean that they actually smart enough to teach in a classroom.
