[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a community college and for the most part, each kid I teach who has a planned intention of transferring to a 4-year institution is motivated, smart, hardworking, and succeeds in that goal. Screw you to demean that, and screw your judgey jealous comments. [/quote]

Different poster here. I've actually spent a little time looking at the issue of CCs vs 4-year schools. I'm not actually trying to be insulting to those who choose community colleges but it is a well-known fact that community college as a whole do not have the same quality of offerings as 4-year schools - a problem that community colleges acknowledge. And they have terrible student retention rates.  While I agree that community college is an important piece of the higher education puzzle, I would always advise a kid to try and go the 4-year route first. And I think many parents on this forum would do the same.  [/quote]

I don’t think that anybody is recommending community college for every kid, and I’ve never seen anybody recommend that on DCUM. OP portrays this as some kind of universal advice for all students, but that’s not what anybody is saying. The recommendation is for kids who need to get their grades and study skills up, or who can’t afford four years at the in-state public. [/quote]

My kid got a 1390 on his SATs and I was advised by a DCUM that he should go to community college.[/quote]
