What is this AAS BOG Pierpont degree I see discussed

[dfrecore]

It's not for me. It's more of an information gathering for parents of teens that are struggling in traditional HS programs. For example, our state has a 24 college cr GenED diploma that can be substituted for a traditiona HS diploma.
But I'm interested in finding out what other programs exist out there for students that might otherwise "drop out" of HS altogether.
I know of so many students that just struggle in traditional HS. So I'm just trying to research alternatives out there.
Plus, I'm studying HigherEdStudentAffairs and would like to be able to advise students of ALL the options they have to earn a college degree!
From what I see, HS today isn't productive for most college bound students. And for students that struggle in HS, they may otherwise drop out. So having knowledge of alternatives to share with other parents is extremely useful.
Unfortunately, I've been jaded from my experiences with our local middle and high schools and how they've perpetuated generational poverty and illiteracy and innumeracy. They know the student population they have attending, yet they are not doing anything substantial to close the gaps with these kids. And in our case, they refused to provide what was needed (yet it was what they provide to some of the students, but repeatedly refused provide to my foster kids.) Hence we were pushed out to the private sector, yet it was the best thing in the long run, as it resulted in closing gaps and proper instructional methods. And one blew them all out of the water on the level of academic success that the student obtained (no thanks to the public school system.) Thank goodness for local volunteer OrtonGillingham tutors (at a not for profit group using Alphabetic Phonics and a volunteer foster/adopt Mom who tutored using Wilson Reading 2 years twice a week for an hour and then an hour travel time both days each way- so huge commitment but so worth it in the end!) Kiddo graduated as Jr a year ahead of cohort class with 33 college credits. And then earned an associate degree at 17 the following Spring a month before cohort class graduated from HS, and is working on finishing up a bachelor degree now by 20 after a couple rocky semesters mixed in, but seems back on track again finally! So I'm all for alternatives to the traditional b&m f2f classrooms of the last Century! Current public education seems outdated and inefficient. When so many kids graduate or drop out without having learned how to read and write proficiently nor proficient in foundational math skills, I don't see the value in the end product. It definitely doesn't pass a cost benefit analysis in my neck of the country. The money our state pays every year in education tends to be in the top slots for per student spending, so its not a lack of money being thrown at education that is the issue in this state!

This is not the program you're looking for.  It's for people who already have at least 12cr of college - so not for the normal HS dropout, or kid who's looking for an alternative to HS.
