Dual enrollment reaches ~2.8 million students/year but is mostly already college-bound students.

Reposted by Tony PerryJack Schneider @jackschneider.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I don't disagree. But, as I wrote back to these reporters, I am most optimistic about projects that respond to the expressed concerns of students and teachers. These are the people who spend 180 days inside schools each year, and they're the key actors in the process of teaching and learning. 1/n 16424
