[quote=Anonymous]I used to think that my similar high schooler would not be able to go to regular college--wouldn't have the grades, wouldn't care about the other classes, etc etc--we were looking at The Make School as a realistic option (Bachelor’s in Applied Computer Science program in 2 years in SF). [I just looked at it -- looks like they folded in 2021] . However, I wanted him to go to college to learn the OTHER stuff. And when he went it was great: he grew so much as a person and expanded his knowledge base from CS/straight programming into other areas like electrical engineering. Did he learn much in his CS classes? I doubt it. I don't even think he went to any unless there was a quiz or test that day, at least until he got to his 400/grad level classes. But it was VERY worth it for him to go to college for all the personal growth and human connections. [/quote]
