Why don’t they just skip the entire,silly high school thing and hand them a diploma when they turn 16?

Lots of money could be saved.

No wonder many kids today cannot do simple math in their head or find the USA on a map. (Of course many don’t have maps according to the brilliant Miss Alabama.)

My thought exactly. Hire baby sitters at $15 an hour to house them and hand them diplomas when they get old enough. Same results for a fraction of the cost.
