In Sue Shellenbarger's High School only Shorter, Sue explains cases of students completing High School in 3 yrs, instead of 4. I do not believe that it is a good thing that people are able to complete High school in 3 yrs. because, in the world today we have CEO's that are in their 20's, and that's great and all, but I feel that these young people need to have some experience before they go into these high office jobs. Being able to graduate high school in 3 yrs. is great, however by doing that those people are cutting there learning short because whether you are a merit scholar, or you are an average student, the more times that you go over a subject (no matter how well you know it) the better you will remember it and apply it to real life. Students that graduate in 4 yrs. to me are better off in life because, they have had more time, and help to figure out exactly what they can do with their life. When people who graduate in 3 yrs. have one whole year less to figure out a path, and to receive the help that they could have and use if those early grads would have if they had if they had stayed in high school for one year longer.
