I've have seen both sides of this issue. In my opinion, I have seen kids graduate from high school that have the maturity of a jr high student. Then, I have seen the opposite. Some are ready, some are not. If one is truely not ready, then its a waste. Those who are not ready tend to sleep thru class and not go, or party and flunk out. They lack the get up and go. My cousin was like that. He flunked out, so took 2 years off and worked. Went back to school and got a degree in safety. Years later went back again and is now a physician in his late 50's and a very good one at that. One of my step daughters, is getting 2 four year degrees in 3 years after getting an early out from highschool. She is a go getter type of person-yet her twin sister has never attended a day of college yet.
Different people have different clocks in them.
