It has become increasingly common for students to enroll in college classes while they are still in high school. In some cases, high school students attend local community colleges to enroll in math, English, history, and science courses for dual credit. However, this can sometimes be a double-edged sword. Parents are sometimes surprised to learn about the graphic nature of college-level courses in their own community. For example, when many parents think of an English class, they think of spelling, grammar, writing, and reading literature like Shakespeare. But in many English classes, students are assigned shockingly graphic material to read and discuss.
In dual credit situations, the students are usually still minors, but they are in courses designed for people who are legally adults. Even though Christians do not approve of inappropriate materials for people of any age, it is especially troubling to think of high school students reading such material.
