[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes you out of the school environment and it’s no longer a high school experience. You are no longer doing high school things like going to football games, eating lunch and hanging out with a different crowd.  Growing up and out too fast. There is plenty of time for that. Enjoy your youth. [/quote]

Not true. DD did DE when in HS. She was back at school for lunch. She took 4 classes back at the HS (calc, AP English, science and history).  She definitely felt a part of her HS. She took DE to explore subjects related to her intended college major that weren’t an option at her HS. It was a fantastic experience. Lots of research and presentations. She felt like she had a sense of college expectations.  My youngest is looking forward to doing the same senior year. [/quote]

This. DE can offer the breadth of classes in general education so the student follows their own interest. Why would anyone want to exhaust AP classes available at their high school, if they don’t interest the student.

Another huge benefit of DE for younger students is that you can enroll early in advanced high school classes like algebra, geometry, precalculus, that are offered as remedial at CCs. The student could take algebra very early without having to go through the hassle of dealing with the school or district silly rules.[/quote]
