Recently I wrote an
article about the Governor of Massachusetts education plan. In his plan one provision may be to allow students to take an exam to graduate from high school early. This may be done as early as the age of 16. I agree with most of his plan except this. I worry that students will eagerly go for this to get out of school early (I would have). However I fear that many will be thrown into college or work. A 16 year old is not ready for the "wild" life that some experience at college with Fraternities and more. In addition, what type of job will a 16 year old child get? Likely not a very good one.
Do you feel that 16 is too young to gradaute from school? Those of you homeschooling, would you stop schooling your child at 16?
Is 16 too young to graduate from high school?
