[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a small Southern town.  Today, my HS is 75% FARMs.  My HS offered 2 AP classes: Lit and Calc AB. My year, I was the only student to pass either one. By senior year, I was driving to the community college for classes because my HS was out— 45 minutes each way during the school day.

More kids enlisted than went to a 4 year college, and no one in my graduating class left the state for college. The level of instruction was very, very poor.

DH had the same experience at a different HS in a different small town.

Why in the world would we want our kids in one if these environments. [/quote]

Omg, are you me?  I’m from Florida for what it’s worth. Though my CC was closer (but we did have kids driving from further schools) [/quote]

I think CC is great for students. Sounds like a great solution if schools can't offer particular languages or AP courses. I went to one in high school and loved it.[/quote]

I don’t think you appreciate the student body of adults in community college in small towns who will be your child’s classmates. Less NOVA and more an edgier version of Community with more crime and drugs. [/quote]
