3 and done



Plan for 3-year high school diploma underway in Dallas ISD



2)      Category: Family, Education
3)      Level: Local
4)      Concerning: Students being able to graduate early and be ready for college.
5)      Why this is important/how does it affect individuals/families? This opportunity in Dallas gives kids the chance to put in hard work and learn what they need to so that they can move on and be ready for college and their career and schools wouldn’t lose their state funding when a student would graduate early.
6)      My views: I think this is great for students who know what their plan is and want to put in the time to complete high school early and move on to something greater and be prepared for it. The plan would have money going toward all day pre-kindergartens. The couple problems I can see is senior events like prom and senior day being missed. These were huge when I was going through high school but the inclusion of the kids in these activities is an option and there’s no reason that they shouldn’t be. The last year for me of high school was a blur anyway and useless because I did all my homework in class and was out of class by noon every day. I had major “senioritis” and is probably by I have such bad procrastination in all my college classes. I should have been learning things for college instead of doing busy work.
