Plan Would Let Students Start College After 10th Grade

What's new about this? It was happening for years in my Western MA Hampshire County school district. High taxes and property owner apathy and disgust led the regional school district to so reduce the school that any smart kid bailed and went to the local community colleges usually with successful results. I wish my own daughter had done this - it would have saved us a bundle of tuition $$ later on.

What is new about this is a further reduction of public education. The diploma offered must be a G.E.D. There is no time in two years to mature a person from a dependent child. You know from your personal experience how vital ones' cohort is.

This is a proposal to abandon the public education system.

What do we want as fellow citizens; educated adults or trained children? Trained children are easy to control. Educated adults, not so much. They tend to think on things and decide on a course of action for themselves. I have thoughts to share with educated adults.
