[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average community college is full of dregs of society; felons, registered sex offenders, drug addicts, kids who finished in the very bottom of their public high school, and many who never even graduated from high school. Anyone can sign up for community college courses; 80-90% are just there to waste their time and steal financial aid refunds.

Why would you put your teen, in the prime of their life, in such a setting? How is that an inspiring, competitive, or uplifting ethos?

You going to be thrilled when your gullible son comes home and tells you his new girlfriend is some tatted up stripper he met in sociology 101? Or your daughter tells you her new boyfriend is some drug dealer she met in the community college cafeteria?[/quote]

JFYI, about tatts, my close relative came home from a year at a high-ranking SLAC all tatted up, and we've since discovered that seemingly most of the undergrads get tatts. Another close family friend came home from a top state flagship with a huge side torso tatt. I'm not sure if it's just a bunch of spoiled upper middle class kids trying to be "hard" or what, but I would say most young people get tattoos, college or not. It's actually now a rare thing for someone NOT to have a tattoo. [/quote]
