There is: Don't.
If the student wants to rob themselves of an education and skill set, why do we stop them? Are we really deferring to colleges as capability verifiers?

@wavefunction@mastodon.sdf.org @markmetz@sfba.social @clew@ecoevo.social We're trying to stop them so we can (1) grade them properly, (2) help them overcome any weaknesses in their skill sets, and (3) help them get the most of their educations. Hight school and college kids are just that: kids. They don't know any better. All they care about is getting the grades they need with the least amount of effort and having fun. Sadly, those aren't the skills that will help them get ahead in life.
