OP here. Thank you. I get what you're saying. The parents I know who are supportive of their kids doing these programs are mainly those who didn't graduate from 4-yr schools or who came here as adults from other countries. They're all in upper middle class school districts where most kids are college bound and feel they're giving their kids the best shot at life. I feel like they're being misled into thinking this is going to put their kid on the fast track to college, as in they think it will help their child get admitted to the flagship state school. These are kids who might have been accepted to that flagship had they stayed on campus and taken the fourth year of French, math, or history, etc... that the more competitive schools want to see on the transcript.[/quote]

To graduate, all kids need four years of math and history (science and English), so I still don’t get your point. Some dual enrolled kids will take a fourth year of a language and some won’t. Some non dual enrolled kids will take a fourth year of a language and some won’t. Neither is right or wrong and neither is doing a disservice to their kids. [/quote]
