[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like some people here do not like community colleges because of the difference in social class. It is by far the cheaper alternative. Community college offers more than a road to a 4 year college. There are programs that offer a road to work life after 2 years of study. So to just compare the numbers is misleading[/quote] But only 29 percent of the students who seek the certificates or two-year degrees get them. Statistics vary by state, and NOVA and the Maryland community colleges may be a lot better than the average, but, in general, the U.S. community college system as serious problems. If a lot of us loud parents sent our kids there, maybe we'd change things, but I honestly don't want my son to be a pioneer in that way. Given his specific characteristics, his only realistic chance of having a decent life is to get a degree. I don't want him to start out with a 29 percent chance of him getting even an associate's degree. [/quote]
