SynopsisMany critics of the secondary school system in America are suggesting the last two years of high school are a waste of time for many students. In addition, leaders in almost every state's educational system along with state legislators are looking for ways to shorten the time it takes to earn a baccalaureate degree. It is common for students to graduate in four-and-one-half to five-and-one-half years rather than the four intended for the degree. Community colleges and a few universities have undertaken reform through the creative program of dual-credit. This program allows those bright students to take college level classes that secondary schools now count toward high school diploma completion. In short, the student gets credit both ways. Other students enroll in technical and vocational programs with the community colleges and seek out potential new job skills or a career choice.
