I believe that a students who are able to excel at a faster pace should be allowed to do so. When these students are in an regular pace they may find more challenges staying focused because it is too boring for them. These students are just wasting their time in these courses. Every student should be allowed to learn at a pace that is appropriate for them. Whether that be slower or faster.

the article states that in over seas countries students whom graduate at 16, tend to do better in standardized tests then americans. I think there wouild be too many complications. Ofcourse there are some students who can under stand the educational levels, of adults. But being young, includes immaturity, being naive and innocent, to what really goes on in the world, plus you would be missing out on an amazing senior year, with your own class =]]. Its like forcing your youth too hurry up. Why would you even want to get old??? youth doesnt last forever and i think you should cherish and take one step at a time.

I dont think kids should be able to graduate after 10th grade. no matter how smart someone is there is a maturity level that con only be reached with age and experience. A 10th grader is not ready to be in the world or go to college that young. Staying in school will only help, it wont hurt for them to stay in school 2 more years.

i dont think kids should be able to graudate after the 10th grade due to many of reasons.
first of all i think they will be too young to finish school.
and at the same time if they graduate after the 10th grade that gives them more time on their hands to get in to trouble
and things that they are not suppost to be doing.
and i think that will cause more trouble and distruction to them
and the world around them.
but thats just my personal opinion

although students can be very mentally prepared for college, they are not always ready maturity wise. there are many important experiences that happen for students in 11th and 12th grade, and all students should experience them before shipping away to college/

i think that kids shouldnt graduate after 10th grade becuase they are only done with half of their high school year. They have so much more to look forward to in 11th and 12th grade.

the article states that the New Hampshier educational offices says that kids should be allowed to garduate after the 10th grade at the age 16. It also says the oveer seas kids have been known to do that and do better at standerdized test than thier american peers. I personally think that it should be the children and parents choice. Some people just arent meant5 to be in school for 4 years and i think would be better just going into the world.

i think that kids should be able to graduate early after 10 grade because some people are matured and ready to leave highschool and experience college. and if they are at a college level i believe they should be able to go and graduate and let them go.

i think that if the kids are smart enough they should be able to move on. But also you have to look at the maturity level if it is up to par and if they can handle it. If they are smart enough and can pass the required test then let them graduate.

i think that students should not be able to graduate after 10th grade because most teenagers arent matured enough. even when they graduate in 12th grade they aren’t matured yet.
