Going back to the original question, what is the justification of the fees?
My senior is going to take a mv-calculus class that is taught in the high school by the high school teacher. The usual high school credit is free, but if we want it to count as dual enrollment we would have to pay a couple hundred dollars for some cooperating college to print a transcript. I’m not happy about the fee, even if one considers that one might potentially save money if the kid goes to a university that credits the class.
If tuition money were no object I rather have the kid use the experience to qualify into a more advanced class freshman year, like proof based analysis, but still take a full set of four years worth of courses at the university, instead of trying to shorten the education with dual enrollment and AP credits. I feel its better to aim at a high educational level and perhaps take graduate level classes senior year, than trying to do a rush job. Or do I miss-understand how students use dual credits?
