[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids college will not give credit for a course that counted towards HS grad but it can be helpful for kids going to UMD.  I learned it is considered an easier route then AP because there is no big exam.  [/quote]

+1  DE can be much easier than AP. Top-tier schools do not like seeing DE. [b]This makes sense for lower income students going to local colleges who really need to save money by graduating in less than four years.[/b] [/quote]
The bolded is what I think is the true purpose of DE. Yes, I'm sure some students take because they are bored with their high school classes, blah blah blah but I can only think of one higher income student who is taking it. Most kids I am aware of seem to take it so they can save money on their college educations. Not a bad deal for those students. I can't blame them for taking that path.

At issue is the fact that DE is sold indiscriminately to all as a benefit, when it only benefits of subset of the population; and that funds that could bolster public K-12 after the pandemic are going to support declining community colleges, which fact is also not advertised...

OP here. THANK YOU. You got the point.
