Any kid can learn with some attention and a few well written books. The big thing I learned from school was how to be around other people. Then again, looking at schools these days, I suppose they would learn how to be around other felons…

Well, I *did* say I was over generalizing

Congratulations to you and your family, you seem to be exceptional people!

My experience with home schooled kids is limited to the dozen or so that have come in looking for work; they’ve seemed like lovely, sweet people, but they had no experience with, well, ANYTHING. Never watched TV (not a bad thing, really), never seen a movie (except the ones shown at their church), never read any books except the ones their youth group minister assigns them, never been anywhere, never met anyone (again, except for their church and their church members). They seem in a permanent state of shock, horror, and growing panic, as they realize MOST PEOPLE DON’T BELONG TO THEIR CHURCH OR HAVE THEIR EXACT SAME WORLD VIEW, OMG!!!

But, as I said initially, it would be overgeneralizing to say every home schooled kid has that experience.

My wife just graduated summa cum laude from CC with her AA and is going on to a 4-year college this fall. The financial savings are HUGE.

the other thing about community colleges is if the university of your choice is a top one, bypassing the first two years there and applying with an aa degree can make a difference. the big univ. here will admit a degree from a cc over a freshman coming in from high school

If you want to save a lot of money on your core classes, a community college is perfect. You just have to make sure your credits transfer. All of my sons went to a CC before going on to Uni and they save quite a bit by going that route.

I was about to comment something very similiar, diss. Community college IS a great place to get a lower (AA, AS) degree without getting a giant kick in the pocket book.

A community college can be a great opportunity if you’re interested in pursuing education along local speciality lines. Where I grew up a major industry is large-scale dairies, and the Ag program at the CC is exceptional. A perfect stepping stone, with a lot of hands-on experience for people doing undergrad work that they may not have experienced elsewhere.

Community colleges are a great way to get a lot of those required courses done for a LOT less money, for one thing. They also have a lot of courses scheduled at times when people who work days can get to them; not to mention the function of teaching vocational skills that aren’t normally associated with four-year degrees but which are very much needed, like auto mechanics or HVAC repair.

My kids got educated through a mix of public school, private school, and homeschooling. My daughter who lives in Texas now did private kindergarten (the preschool where I worked at the time had a kindergarten program) then public school for 1st through 7th grade. In 7th grade she hated her school so much it was a daily battle to get her there (Yes, I do mean “battle” — there were a lot of days I ended up frogmarching her into the guidance counselor’s office personally!). On her guidance counselor’s suggestion, I found her a really awesome boarding school for 8th and 9th grades (very small, rural area, total crunchy-hippie-peaceandlove-vegetarian-no tv kinda place, which occasionally made me , but it was great for her!) then she did two years at one public school, wanted to transfer to another for her senior year, hated the new school, and homeschooled for the rest of her senior year. She’s a chemistry major at St. Edward’s University in Austin now.
Her younger sister did public school until the middle of 10th, then finished 10th through a homeschooling extension program that was PURE crap, and then homeschooled for 11th & 12th. About to join her sister in Austin (with hefty financial aid due to awesome test scores!). The youngest homeschooled for 8th grade because he couldn’t stand his middle school, but decided after that to go to public high school, in part because he didn’t think he was self-motivated enough for homeschooling. Overall, we’ve managed to work it out but I’ve learned there’s no one right answer to educating kids.

I know several home-schooled kids, and they vary. The family I know best is part of a home-schooling group that does many activities together, from field trips to specialized classes to parties & vacations. This is the peer group for the students, and also provides the parents with more resources than just their own abilities.

These parents are not qualified teachers, but they are thinking, aware adults capable of finding what they need to assure their child’s development. Like Froofrou, their child’s peer group also includes adults. While comfortable having adult conversations, she’s still very much a kid. And a well-grounded one, at that.

Secretarial work takes a lot more than typing. If you think that is all that it consists of, you haven’t been paying attention. And no, I’m not in that field–I’m an academic.
There is no shame in community college. People associate it with the remedial courses which are offered, but that is certainly not the be-all and end-all. All colleges and universities have to offer remedial courses, because of grade inflation in public high schools. I haven’t taught in a community college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect what they do.

What is wrong with a community college? Many people use community colleges as steps toward four-year colleges, for vocational jobs, or in situations when they need to work and balance school at the same time. My community college has an excellent secretarial program, graphic design, art. One of my best friends is going on to the Art Institute of Houston.
