[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maturation, maturation, maturation, many studets are not prepared for a wide variety of reasons for the rigors of four year universities immediately after high school.

Many students would benefit from 13th and 14th grade in high school. However, that is impossible for social reasons. You couldn't have 20 year olds attending the same schools as 14 year olds. Nevertheless, so many kids just don't get it, when they are in high school. They don't get the importance of doing well, they are caught up in social life, they may have learning or physical delays. Whatever the reasons many kids wake up after high school realize the no education, dead end road predicament they are in and all of a sudden say "oh shit, now what do I do?".

If Community College education were a more mainstream part of the American education system our workforce would be more productive, better paid, and more upwardly mobile.

At present far too many kids leave high school unprepared for college and ultimately flounder financially and socially for the rest of their lives. [/quote]

Here's a cheaper solution:

ground the mommy helicopter  in late childhood. have them take the bus, walk to the store, work, manage a bank account, and keep their grades up ( without tutors and parent letters to teachers). Then see if your kid ( who you likely kept out of Pre-K until they were almost 6 ) really needs " 13th and 14th grade".

So you are saying that a kid who does these things will be more employable than a college graduate?  Or will they miraculously have the money to pay for college?
