[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what circumstances your family faces. In many parts of VA DE is pushed by schools. Many of the kids would be looking at CC anyway, they are getting a head start. DE meets the needs of a lot of people.

But if you are looking at a high end 4 year university, DE doesn’t make as much sense because the credits often don’t transfer, AP scores are much more widely accepted. [b]And something like having a two year degree in high school via DE is actively looked down on by one in state university in VA in particular. I have a kid there, [u]but they have a certain reputation that is well earned. Started at third base and think they hit a triple as an institution.[/u][/b]

It depends on what situation your family and your child is in. My older kids took AP, but there is a specific program my younger son is looking at in state where it would be very useful to take DE calculus rather than AP calc. That way he knows for sure he would already have the credit. And if you want to, can always take the AP test anyway.

Depends on your situation. I know of some low income kids that got two year degree in high school and then two years at a university and graduated at 20 with next to no debt. Not stupid, however much some schools and some parents may pretend otherwise.[/quote]

Name the school and source for your assertion or it’s not credible. Also, what does the underlined part mean?[/quote]
