And my daughter graduated HS at age 16 with 45 college credit hours BECAUSE she chose to take the advanced language classes and math classes in MS (the courses that NC are dropping!) ...

And then used the dual enrollment her last two "years" of HS -> Attended the college full time, taking college classes INSTEAD of taking HS classes and AP classes.

She said it was easier to take college classes and get full credit for them, rather than worry about getting through the AP test and "maybe" getting partial credit for "some" of the college classes.

How long ago was this? Most schools don't even allow such options these days. Our district (in Texas) has things structured where four years in high school are mandatory.
