Funny how high school isn't the 'real world' is it? Nerds do quite fine in areas where results are prized, not appearances.

It definitely isn't the "real world". I had a sophomore year followed by a senior year. All that required was some petitioning of the school board to define a "senior" by the number of credits completed vs the number of semesters attended. The same standard applied at the college level. That change enabled 30 people to graduate a year early. I was able to attend UCSD instead of another year at a public high school.

I've seen quite a few kids do high school in 3 years, in fact I recommend it for those that just want to get out and get into the real world. In Virginia, basically kids just have to make sure they have their credits for science and math, then take English 12 and Government their Junior year -- and it's done.

It's a great option for those that want to be done NOW and get on with life.
