HS is NOT college.

The only change we need would be to allow her unlimited credits from HS to be counted towards a degree. The AP credits, coupled with a couple of summer school classes in her junior and senior year of HS will come close to satisfying her needs for general ed at most schools she is looking to attend.

From there, she needs about 2 years at the college she wants a for her bachelor’s. She intends to do microbiology before going on to her master’s.

So, really all we need is the ability to count the work that she has done towards the degree she wants. It would sure help out to get a head start on those, and get them done cheaply. She’s talking doctorate these days!!! $$$$$$$$$$

I do not see this as the dumbing down of the value of a college degree, rather rewarding the efforts of those kids who are driven to excel and achieve ahead of schedule. Those who have the ability to work above their age range should be able to do so and be able to receive credit for it.

And for those of you who might criticize me for pushing too hard – I made her take art this year so she has some time to chill out! 🙂

Thank you for listening to my humble opinion.

I strongly encourage the State of California to end this job bias and unleash fairness. As education is disrupted and transformed by online education, our definition of a college degree is also going to change and replaced by lifelong learning.

It would be AWESOME if California took the lead in civil rights and fairness for the 21st Century.

Young Americans who are strongly interested and talented in math or science have much better options for college education – they’ll even get special admissions consideration and scholarships at many of the country’s elite colleges.
