[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is early college? [/quote] Every graduating high school senior would also graduate with an associate's degree.[/quote] Seems useless [/quote] For kids going to public university, they can skip two years of instruction, which can save a huge amount of tuition. For some families and kids with modest academic aspirations it can work well. My HS had it, so I had almost two years of community college credit; but I went out of state to a more rigorous private university and the credits were worthless. As academics, it was a mixed bag, I think better than most Honors courses, but not as valuable as AP/IB. But without the high stakes of the AP test to get credit, which again for mainstream academics is a good deal.[/quote]
