I've taught at community colleges. What you're sharing is basically 1 in 500,000 odds.

Community colleges are disgusting - full of degenerates, mentally unstable, druggies, flunkies, ex cons, terminally unmotivated.

Of course a savvy kid can navigate and make something out of nothing, but why would you want your child to waste one minute of their life in that environment? Life is way too short.[/quote]

Huge exaggeration.

When I went, there are tons of intelligent, lower middle class and working class kids. Maybe your observation is true in the northeast, where community colleges are stigmatized to the point that people will pay a fortune to go to a mediocre private before just doing the first two years at a CC and then transferring to a decent state school.[/quote]

Sure, one in ten are scrappy lower middle and working class kids - handful of first-gen Asians transfer into the flagship public U. The other 80-90% are degenerate, going nowhere - completion rates back this up. Overall it's not a stimulating environment, classes are a joke, students are helpless. If you're desperate and it's your only option, do what you have to do. If you can avoid it, avoid it. That's all.[/quote]
