[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have him go NVCC, keep his grades up and do the in-state transfer to another state school then. [/quote] As a parent of a kid with similar schools, if it was as easy as telling your kid "keep your grades up", don't you think we'd have tried that strategy in middle school or high school? The reality is that some kids find academics challenging. My kid can work twice as hard as your A student, and still end up with a B or even a C. Expecting a kid who has received average grades in HS, where there's lots of support, to suddenly receive significantly above average grades at community college, is not realistic. Unless there's some special circumstance, I wouldn't go into community college with the idea that it's an easy path to in state 4 year schools.[/quote]
