As anyone should know if they ever went to college, you can expedite your degree by taking summer semesters. If you get FAFSA, then you have to take two semesters a year, but the summer is optional. If you can afford it out of pocket, or get a private loan, it's a great way to expedite your degree, and your loans won't build as much interest. If you take summer courses, non stop, you can get a bachelor's degree in just 2.67 years, a master's degree in four years, and a Ph.D in just 5.33 years.
Well, imagine if children, or the parents of the children, had the option of taking summer semesters, not because they flunked a normal semester, but simply to expedite their high school education?
Think about it: If you take twelve summer semesters, optionally, that is the equivalent of six years chopped off your entire high school experience!
Imagine getting a high school diploma (not a GED, but a high school diploma) at the tender age of twelve? You can then have a master's degree as soon as you're legally eligible to work in the United States!
Imagine, James Smith, the sixteen-year-old accountant?! He is married to Mary Smith, the sixteen-year-old school counselor!
Now, no one would be forcing kids to do this, but, if you're like me, you'd probably OPT to do it, if you had the option!
