Cast a vote against Jeb on CNN.com
Jeb is encouraging Floridians to graduate from h.s. early in order to relieve crowding! Cast your vote against his pathetic solution...

4. Here's the story
http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/09/08/early.graduation.ap/index.html

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (AP) -- Of all the ways attempted to free up space in Florida's crowded classrooms, this one could be a dream come true for high schoolers in a hurry: a diploma without a senior year...

"It was meant for a small group, a band of students, who were not only mature enough but smart enough to graduate," Education Commissioner Jim Horne said. "It's not an attempt under class size pressure to do away with the 12th grade"...


Yeah, and I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you may want to buy. Students who are academically eligible have always been able to do this--my own nephew not only left for college after his junior year, he was class valedictorian. But as the article says, only a "small" number of students qualify. I suspect that Jeb is thinking more along the lines of how New York City empties their mental hospitals in the Sixties to save money.
