    IS IT TIME TO DITCH SENIOR YEAR? (Education news)

    "I'm proof you don't really need to graduate from high school. That's just propaganda from those money-grubbing diploma companies."
    -- Richie, <I>Malcolm in the Middle</I>

    Senior year, and what to do with it, have become the subject of an ongoing national debate centered around the fundamental question: What is senior year for? Should it be an intense college-prep year or a vocational program, or cut completely?

    Should students skip senior year and go straight to college?
