High school for the majority of students is a monumental failure. It's just something to get through before you can start to live. Adding school days and school years isn't going to help the problem either. The president of Bard says that by the time a kid is 16, he should be in college or out in the workforce. I like the idea of a student getting an associates degree by the time he is 16. Homeschoolers do it. High school just extends childhood, treating kids like potential criminals (pee tests, searches, mind-numbing indoctrination, having to beg to go to the bathroom). Those who want to move on should be permitted to do so, but of course, those who do move on can't be indoctrinated and watched.
