If you have read this blog at all, you now I'm a big fan of John Merrow and his Learning Matters website.
Here is an interesting blog entry. Merrow reflects back on his first ancestor to arrive in America. He was promptly sold into indentured servitude. After seven years, he was able to earn his freedom.
Merrow equates this to how students might choose to view high school. But he also notes how several states (Minnesota is not one . . . yet) that allows students to test out of high school after their sophomore year.
Now, that is an interesting idea.
