[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say it's a combination of the desire to go away and the stigma about going to CC.  It was recently discussed on the AEM facebook page that none of the kids at Yorktown who are going to NVCC reported their college plans for release in the school newspaper.  Unfortunately, kids who go to CC are mocked by their classmates.[/quote]

OP here --- I was afraid of that (above).  :(  I just know my child isn't going to get into UVA or WM straight out of HS.  My other one might get into VT eng. right out of high schools, but both are very young for their age... they are totally homebodies and aren't very social.  They don't want to go to camp or out of the house on weekends.  I imagine their desire to leave home will increase over the next few years.  But, I can also see that they would do well with a couple of years to mature before going away.  Sigh.  I guess we'll see what THEY want to do when the time comes.  I just wish there wasn't such a stigma for something that could be great![/quote]
