[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open enrollment means that to the extent there is a course sequence, barefly passing the previous course entitles you to enroll in any level of the next course that is available even though you have functionally zero chance of succeeding in it. For instance, you passed English 10 with a D and you are therefore entitled to enroll in AP Lang in 11th. Or you passed Algebra 2 with a D and enroll in Precalc Honors.[/quote] In practice, though, not many kids who got Ds in Algebra 2 want to take Honors precalc. It’s much more common to see an ambitious kid with a 4.0 bristle at the idea that the school might intervene to prevent him from taking 8 APs simultaneously as a junior. [/quote]
