So, here we have one of many similar proposals being thrown around in order to save money for State government. This nugget of brilliance involves eliminating 12th grade, which would place 16 and 17 year olds into the work force or early college.

Sounds great for the 5% who are mature enough to handle it, but in reality it will just set more kids up for failure. The only goal here is to save money, again at the exepense of the future. Reducing lower education beyond its current sewer level can only lead to Hell.

Tell you what, the day we graduate 95% who can read and write, we can start talking about cutting years off the process.
