Nope. You can choose classes within your school, but if you go to a shitty school you're out of luck. This is why initiatives like this are so important. And comments like the original one that started this thread are ignorant at best, and when made into a political viewpoint, oppressive.
- Jensson 5y agoWell, to me and probably many others it is unthinkable that students wouldn't be able to pick their high school. But thanks for explaining, now I think I understand better why American college is structured as it is. I always wondered why American colleges offered high school courses, but if students cannot reliably take high school courses then colleges needs to offer those to all the students who couldn't take them in high school.
- vgel 5y agoThis is also, in similar theme to my other comment, because high schools aren't standardized and have often wildly different curricula, even between high-quality high schools. Colleges do a ton of work to smooth this out, from offering high-school courses for freshmen to re-normalizing GPAs to account for different grading scales between schools.
