"No entitlement for college courses
for high schoolers"
June 11, 2010; Casper Star Tribune
Editorial. Editorial by Star Tribune Editorial Board.
"If
the colleges and school districts are able to agree to some
standardization of college classes for high schoolers, more power to
them. But it's unreasonable to expect that the group will emerge with a
statewide system. These programs have evolved in accordance with the
particular needs and resources of their communities, and it's unlikely
that a one-size-fits-all approach will work."
