Tools you need to make the right choices

IS IT TIME TO DITCH SENIOR YEAR? (Education news)
"I'm proof you don't really need to graduate from high school. That's just propaganda from those money-grubbing diploma companies."
-- Richie, <I>Malcolm in the Middle</I>
Senior year, and what to do with it, have become the subject of an ongoing national debate centered around the fundamental question: What is senior year for? Should it be an intense college-prep year or a vocational program, or cut completely?
Should students skip senior year and go straight to college?
