[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think so in case a kid wants to graduate early, they’d have to find a way to get 4 years of English done in 3.[/quote]

Graduate early from HIGH SCHOOL??  Is this a joke?  Why would anyone do this to their kid? Bad enough the cheap parents who want their kid to use AP credit to cut college short but this?  Just evil. [/quote]

That is quite a strong reaction. Not my cup of tea either as I am a social butterlfy, but I can imagine a kid for whom the experience of high school and even college, outside of the academics, it torture. They are missing nothing at all by blowing through it faster.[/quote]

While it was many years ago, I did this.  Graduated from HS a year early.  Best thing I ever did.  I hated high school and was grateful to go to college early.  I will forever be grateful to my parents and my high school counselor who helped me make it possible.[/quote]

So did my brother -- from an elite private school. He went to a top 10 college, so it didn't hurt him in college admissions.[/quote]

Honest question- [b]did your brother graduate from one of the (assumed) schools OP is referencing?[/b]
And to the PP who graduated early to get out of a bad situation, I’m so glad you were able to get out of a horrible situation.[/quote]
 
Yes. He didn't do it by taking summer school classes, although since I was out of the house by then, I don't know the details. I know that they wouldn't give him his high school diploma until after he finished his freshman year of college.[/quote]

It’s been a while, yes? Which school?[/quote]

Yes, it's been 20+ years. My point wasn't about the policies of the school, which could easily have changed (and there were some unique circumstances for him), but to rebut the PP's point that no one would want to or should graduate from high school early.[/quote]
