[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Community College does not offer the same quality of education as a well respected 4 year institution.  If your goal is just to get a degree that is fine, but don’t kid yourself that a student is learning critical thinking or leadership skills.  [b]Both my MIL and aunt teach at different community colleges and it is a very different student body[/b].  Community College fills an extreme important niche, but don’t kid yourself on the quality of education.[/quote]

A lot of 1st year and 2nd year classes at Ivies, UVA, CMU, etc... are NOT taught by professors.  Those classes are taught by TAs.  Furthermore, a lot of 1st and 2nd year classes at those universities have at least 100 students per class.  Some even have like 200+ students.  Quite frankly, those classes do not need to be taught by professors.  1st & 2nd classes are not that difficult to begin with.

At CC, classes are actually taught my professors and the class sizes are ten times smaller than at Universities.

yes, the student body at CC is very different than Universities and there are much more "less motivated" students at CC.  If your kid is motivated and self-driven, he/she will be fine.  The smart kids from CC will end up @UVA, VT, UMD, Ivies.  CC is just a springboard to better things.[/quote]
