Yes idiot. How many players from your school went on to attend college? Other then John David Booty, who wasn't that great of a QB, but good, did it work. The other players like Zeke Pike-failed, Maurice Clarett- failed, they are too immature.

You are not very educated on this subject....

The spring semester of their senior year wasn't going to be the panacea for those two.

My school???????? What are you even talking about?????????

Dude, seriously there have been thousands of kids that have done this with great success. Not sure what school mine is.......I mean I know that prom, senior skip day, and jacking around with your buds is really important in the grand scheme of life and all...but come on.

 

What if a kid lives in a dangerous area, has a poor home life, or does not have the means to support himself at home, and college is a way for him to get away and start over...still only an idiot would allow this.?

I have more experience in this subject then any of you guys will. Packman you need to watch out for those ghost, you should know better to keep running into them in you game without the power pellet. Or you are refering to Packman Jones. Stay out of the strip clubs they are bad for you. LOL!

Did someone from your high school do this? that' what i;m asking. Yes, two from Owensboro Catholic in the last 10 years have and it failed. So, as a guy that has seen this up close, I don't think it's a good idea.

 

If it's life and death to get him out of a dangerous home then you should call the cops first, if that don't work and all resources have been done then yes let him go. Geez. That's common sense, but NOT EVERY KID IS READY TO DO THIS. The head football coach at the University is the one that pushes and asst. to pressure it for a kid.

I am always amused by others who like to make decisions and tell kids what is best for them. Maybe the kid and his parents can actually determine what is best and would prefer not to have a blanket rule.

Rambo, I agree that this is not for everyone. But, your comments are quite broad. I have to think that some could benefit from this option. Say a kid is already 18, mature, and has great grades. I think there are some that could benefit from this option.

HAHAHAHA call the cops! Hey your entitled to you opinion calling people idiots is a whole other thing. Did these kids Fail from leaving early? If so explain????:thumb:

Allowing students to graduate early opens up a whole can of worms. Everything from enrollment issues, to ADA, to staffing allocations, which is all based on enrollment numbers. It is a slippery slope IMO.

 

It really isn't that big of a deal. You are talking about a small amount of students doing this (not just athletes). Numbers wise it wouldn't be much different then the normal flow of students enrolling or withdrawing from a school.

Just curious, but is this restricted to athletes only? Let's say a stellar student wants to get done a semester early and get to college ASAP. Has anyone ever heard of someone doing that? Seems the only time I've heard this it revolves around athletics, especially football.

 

Its been happening for 20 years or so at least. Non-athletes leaving school early after completing what they needed to to enroll in college. I'm not even talking "smart" kids either. Just your average student that got everything finished.

Trinity in Louisville does not permit early graduation. No tuition rebates ;-)

Man, after reading some of the comments in this thread, I guess all those Covington Latin School grads who graduated from high school not 6 months early, but 2 years early, weren't ready for college. However, since a whole lot of the ones I know have become extremely successful business men and women, doctors and lawyers, I kind of think they were ready for college even if they started college two years younger than the typical college freshman.

Did not help them. They did not flunk out of school. Just didn't help them. They were not ready physcially and academically. Were told not to by their coach and look what it did from the athletic side. They ended up red shirting anyway, so if the college coach was going to do that anyway why didn't he explain that to the parents of the kid. That's why the high school coach said "not a good idea." It didn't work the high school coach was right. The college coach was wrong.

 

What else do you want explained. You have 0 expertise in this. That's why I asked how many from your school has done this. O response. Go back to look up stuff on the internet in your underwear.
