Just fyi, in Illinois, many of the teachers teaching dual credit courses for college courses are not remotely qualified to do so, their syllabi and content do match what the state says they’re supposed to have, and even though department chairs like myself are supposed to have approval rights to make sure the classes aren’t a joke, we can deny all we want and get overrruled anyway. So the students may be getting college credits, but they’re not getting college content. And nobody seems to care.
I guess in a country that doesn’t seem to value college education at all and actively punishes those who seek it, it makes sense that no one would care about the quality of the courses earning college credit. I fucking hate it here
I was asked to approve a high school teachers syllabi for Intro to Psych that skipped over the chapter on mental illness and has the students watching a self-selected movie on mental illness instead. Because movies are so accurate. I denied it but they overruled me. Because nothing matters anymore
