<p>How does co-op work? Do you get to use the classes you take at a college for credits at your high school? What are the benefits?</p>
<p>Do you mean like dual enrollment?</p>
<p>that darn word was the the JUNE SATS!!!!!</p>
<p>yeah, I guess so</p>
<p>Co-Op here means you leave school for 1-3 periods early, and you have to get your work signed by your boss. Seniors do it by only taking the classes they need to graduate and leaving after 4th period to work and make money. I don't think i'm going to do this, but i'd say about 1/2 of the seniors do it here.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure that co-op is work, whereas dual enrollment is college. </p>
<p>I personally haven't done dual enrollment, but some of my friends have. Essentially, it just allowed them to increase the number of classes that they were taking, and/or difficulty. Really, if you're talking about a community college, chances are the classes are probably easier than in high school (atleast around here). We've also had some students leave during the day to take classes at the CC, but really it doesn't work very well with our school's schedule because it rotates and we have different classes at different times of the day. It's not really that popular around here, TBH, but maybe that is because it's kinda a joke. We'd still also have to pay for it, unless the class isn't offered at our school or there is no way it could fit into your schedule.</p>
<p>As for co-op, I haven't really heard about it in the high school sense, but generally in college it just means having and internship/job in the field that you are majoring in and trying out what it's actually like while still in college and earning your degree.</p>
<p>What if my school didn't offer japanese, but I really wanted to take it? Could I take a Japanese course at a college then transfer the credits to my high school?</p>
<p>Yes, that is Dual Enrollment dogsrk4ever.</p>
<p>Not sure if co-op is the same thing as dual enrollment, but I'm basically leaving after four periods my senior year (instead of the normal six) and taking community college classes two times a week.</p>
<p>As said before, it relates to work, not college classes.</p>
<p>What are the benefits of taking a some community college classes instead of high school classes?</p>
