Is anyone aware of alternative practices in awarding high school credits towards graduation based on prior knowledge? Although this practice is common among colleges, it does not appear to be widespread among high schools. I can think of several instances where this would be beneficial to students. For example, migrant students who may have learned enough to pass a high school class, but did not because of frequent moves. I'd appreaciate learning of public schools or alternative education programs that may have developed such practices. Thanks, Tom Woods
