As someone entering ninth grade this fall, I disagree with the Empire's editorial that dismissed this option with little thought.

I have friends that live all over town, and I look forward to sharing my high school years with them and with all my Juneau peers. I don't believe people our age should have to pick a career track or focus, and thus not get to explore a wide range of subjects.
