"she enrolled in dual classes. "Put them into college classes," he advises. "That's it. More than likely, your high school is probably going to be pushing you toward putting them into AP classes. Don't do it. Just put them into dual enrollment. Your high school probably has a dual enrollment program with like your local community college, meaning your kid can take college-level classes, and they will actually take over for some of their high school classes."
""In the last semester, my daughter had like one class she had actually attended. And now she's going into college with like 52 credits or something. It's crazy. Instead of giving her all the added pressure of taking on more difficult courses, just give her college classes. And then those transfer over because AP classes aren't transferring over for anything. Just trust me on this.""
AP classes often fail to transfer to college credit and can add academic pressure without shortening time to degree. Dual enrollment through local community colleges lets high school students take college-level courses that substitute for high school classes and generate actual college credits. Accumulated dual-enrollment credits can allow students to enter college with substantial credit, reduce course load and semesters, and lower tuition costs. Dual enrollment courses can be aligned with a student's intended major, easing high school workload while accelerating progress toward a degree and producing measurable financial and time savings.
