When times become tough and money needs to be saved, some politicians will propose what would have been unthinkable when the economy was healthy. Some in the state of Utah have started thinking about eliminating the 12th grade reports the Los Angeles Times.
Are teenagers ready for the real world at 17 years of age? Aside from the money saved, what are the other benefits and possible costs associated with eliminating 12th grade? Could this be the start of a new movement in the United States?
Remember that America is already closer to the bottom than the top when it's education system is compared to other developed and wealthy nations. It would be important to know if dropping 12th grade would improve the education experience for those young adults affected.
