A third back-to-school story:
All the public and private high schools in the United States graduated about 3.34 million students last year. That is likely to be the peak number for the foreseeable future, projecting out to 2022. This is the finding reported in the most recent edition of the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education's series of high school and college projections.
The declining number of high school graduates will put further pressure on the massive expansion of college and college-like training to go deeper into the pool of warm bodies just to sustain the credentialing apparatus we now have.
Still, it is a very good thing that there are more high school graduates than ever before.

Yes, it is good that we have more high school graduate we have ever before. You have raised very good issues. The number of students is declining and schools are increasing. So there is going to be the great completion among the high schools.
