Ideas for an article

[okiemom]

I know quite a few people with kids around the same age as my youngest son. When I mention that he'll be graduating from high school with fifty college credit hours, most of them look at me like I'm out of my mind. I've tried to explain concurrent enrollment, clep test and so on and have been met with with strange looks and odd comments. The general attitude is their high school counceler takes care of that type of thing.

So, I contacted one of our local papers to see if they had considered running articles about alternate means of earning college credit for both high schools and adults. They're response was "If you'll write it, we've publish it."

I'm going for it. I'm trying to decide whether to write one article for both adults and high school students or whether to write two separate articles.

Any suggestions and ideas will be deeply appreciated.
