High School, but shorter, by: Sue Shellenbarger show’s how smart, Kids can graduate early and get scholarships to major colleges. There are a lot of pros to this concept as well as cons. These kids who graduate early mostly graduate because the school level was to “slow paced” and to easy for them, while others wanted to move on with their lives. Like Luke Priebe and Laura Paul. Luke’s father wanted him to graduate early because the school level he was at was too slow paced, and was afraid Luke would lose his love for school. There is also Laura paul, who like Luke is smart, but graduated for a different reason. Laura wanted to graduate because she wanted to live in a more assorted area, where she could learn in a Non-rural area. While they get this chance to graduate one year early, other kids may not get the chance.


High School, but shorter, by: Sue Shellenbarger show’s How smarter kids can graduate early to go to college, which I feel is important for kids to get the proper education to have this choice. Luke Priebe and Laura Paul both have the proper education to go through with college. even though according to most education they're supposed to be in high school. I feel that if I were put in that situation, I would probably stay in high school, for social and educational reasons. I don't think I would last very long in college if I was really smart. I would feel the need to get more education to be more comfortable. I also feel a connection with this story, because my father also graduated early to continue with college.  I really think that Sue makes valid points in this article and I agree with her view on education.
