[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again: the CC route is on my radar and DS will take it if absolutely necessary but it’s not an ideal situation for a number of reasons.

Look, my honest feedback is that CA is has tons of really hardworking, smart kids who are low-income. If your son wants acceptance into a good CA public college, he will have to step up his game. In his high school years, he’ll need to study often, take rigorous classes, have outside interests.

If he doesn’t do these things, California will still pay for much of his education! It just may not be at the college he dreams of. He can go to community college tuition free or a less-competitive Cal State tuition free. You’ll need to be flexible and see what happens over the next year or two. Make sure his reading skills are top notch and make sure he’s fluent in algebra. 8th grade is when kids fall behind and others push ahead. [/quote]

His reading skills are actually great (one thing that’s great)
As I said CC is ok just not preferred. Would prefer a “less competitive CalState” if given the option.[/quote]
