[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dual enrollment is for kids to get college credit. Some kids have topped out at what their school has to offer, so they go to MC for a math, science etc… class they want/need. A lot of schools may not take an AP credit, but more take an actual college credit. It also looks more impressive on a college application as its a real college class, which is more rigorous than an AP class. Most other counties in MD (and other states) have many more kids doing this than MCPS does. [/quote]

I would not place a community college class above an AP class.    How many kids have topped out HS classes in the area where tons of APs are offered.  [/quote]

There's probably not a meaningful difference in terms of curriculum but there's definitely a difference in expectations and discipline. [b]I'm stunned at the generosity afforded to kids to turn in assignments late and do retakes in AP/IB classes[/b].[/quote]

This has been a fairly recent phenomenon.  Typically AP courses at a strong MCPS high school would easily surpass the difficulty at MC.  I have had many students do both over the years.[/quote]
