I am getting bogged down by the dreaded Box (I refer to the traditional, one-size-fits-all Box of public education). I want to think creatively, but am having trouble with high school graduation requirements idiocy. Do those of you whose kids enroll in college courses forego a high school diploma? Do you get permission from the high school to take the courses if you're trying to get dual credit? Or are you blowing off high school bureaucrats entirely and just enroll in what your kid wants regardless of how many credits they need, blah, blah, blah?
