[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you community college bashers are not very intelligent. I[b]f a child can spend the first 2 years at community college taking prerequisites, then transfer to UVA, why not do it? The diploma will still read "UVA" and you will have saved many thousands of dollars. Who's the dummy[/b]?[/quote]

Totally agree.  I know people where the degree says University of Michigan, Ann Arbor but they saved thousands going to a CC.  Now back to the topic.  OP, DD is a huge underachiever.  A dear child who for whatever reason just is not a good traditional student.  As articulate or more than her friends, but will not put in the effort and terrified at math.  She is in a CC.  I have been to the CC a few times and there are students in those lounges and libraries who are studying their butts off.  Or people who were in the military and now back in school.  Even U of M has slackers.  Even Ivy Leagues have slackers.  There are kids in CC for many reasons.  Nothing wrong with it.[/quote]
