- Rhoda, you have touched on a topic in which we all should be very interested
- in that more and more students are getting first year composition credit for
- courses taken in high school (see paried articles by Michael Vivion and me in
- a recent issue of the WPA journal). The notion that a college writing course
- can offer something that a high school writing course cannot offer is critical
- to my objection to giving college credit for high school courses. My main
- argument is from context. I would like to hear what others have to say.
