Dear Emma, In worked with Mike on this piece and we talked alot about his ideal high school. Mike believes that young people should stay in school until at least 5:00 but they should have some freedom of choice about their activitites. This high school experience would be more like college because the extracurriculars would be like electives, And remember- high school would end at 16, so you would be stuck in school. Mike believes that by giving kids responsibility earlier, they will rise to the task. David Eisenbach, Gravel 2008 Communications Director
