She is, of course, entitled to her opinion but, since she criticizes Arizona's students as being academically unprepared for college, she should at least get her facts correct. Dual enrollment is a good idea and a good program . High School juniors and seniors are able to receive credit toward high school graduation and college requirements. Students get a head start on college.
Parents save money.
The state gets a better-educated citizenry. It is sad that an educator holds this view of Arizona's students. The community colleges believe that such students are ready for college, that students should be encouraged to attend college and that dual enrollment gives them the opportunity to get better prepared for a successful college career. She goes on to suggest that taxpayers pay twice for such students. She is wrong .
