[quote=Anonymous]I think as a general rule, kids who were successful in High School are successful in college. Many colleges require freshman to take writing seminars to make sure they all have the skills to succeed in higher classes. Those are important and useful. Both my DCs were A students at J-R and remain A students in difficult colleges in difficult programs. One had issues with time organization and structure in J-R, and had the same issues in college, but was able to get help from their counseling office. J-R did not address these issues. But the help later made a world of difference. My point is, they were academically prepared, significantly ahead in some cases, and colleges are structured to help kids make sure they have the tools they need to succeed, if the kids take advantage of them.[/quote]
