Putting high school students through college isn’t the responsibility of the local public school district or their taxpayers. I don’t believe that giving every child a free, appropriate education means providing college courses for advanced students at the expense of those who are struggling. “Appropriate” is defined by the state high school graduation requirements, not the academic potential of individual students. Many districts in our state struggle to meet state mandates; funding college courses that are many levels beyond what’s required to earn a high school diploma at the expense of high school programming wouldn’t go over well. Parents who want more pay out-of-pocket for college courses or to enroll their children in private high schools.
If the parents can’t/won’t pay for college classes or private school, their son has other options. He could try to get an internship at the local university, take online courses, self study, or get a job to pay for the classes he wants. Some employers will help pay for college, so he may want to look into getting a job that offers that benefit.
