[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I have a 3 y.o.[/b] and 3-4 specific urban CCs (E & W Coast) in mind for him as first choices. They're open admission and amazing institutions. [/quote]

Not that there's anything wrong with CC, but you're already planning for your 3 YEAR OLD to make that a first choice? Seems a little (read: a lot) premature. [/quote]

You do you! If you want a kid to think about CCs as a first choice around here, you have to start early. Witness this thread.[/quote]

But my point is that what, in a mere 3 years of life, leads this person to believe CC should be a first choice? You have no clue how the trajectory of your child's life is going to end up. Imagine knowing from an early age that your parents think you should attend CC no matter what. Right or wrong, there are societal stereotypes at play that could really impact a child's self-confidence and desire to work hard.

If it's a financial thing, this person is clearly already planning 15 years in advance, so start saving! The fact that this person has any colleges "in mind for him as first choices" ignores the fact that the student has a say at all in such an important life decision. Planning for the future is one thing - creating a self-fulfilling prophecy is another. [/quote]
