Colorado's state Board of Education just decided to pay for college classes that high school students take, up to a year after they graduate.

It's unclear where the funding for the controversial rule would come from - whether the state's K-12 per-pupil money (about $6,000 per student) or another source.  Some have expressed concerns that such a generous move could mean depleting money designated for K-12.

What do you think?  Would you like to see a similar program in Maryland?  Would it encourage more high-school students to take college-level courses?
