You must not have looked at the cost of College lately. Community colleges are lacking in many ways....especially placement.
Cost of college are inexcusable in 1970 a year at Harvard was $2500. And the median household income in the US was 25k or so.
Today the cost of a year at Harvard is almost 48k and the median household income is 62k
I am all too aware of higher ed costs and products, as I work in the system.
Lots of grants and other aid out there. Opportunities for kids to at the very least go to state colleges while also working. If you’ve got grandchildren with full graduate Ivy League scholarships they are either quite bright or from a quite favored minority group.
For the bulk of kids, a couple of years at a community college where their state school guarantees admission with full credit acceptance is a very viable bargain alternative.
As always, but with the Internet more universally than ever, education is what the students make of it.
“Community colleges are lacking in many ways....especially placement.”
Can you define “especially placement”?
