@bluebayou,
My H and I are seriously considering a community college. We couldn’t mention this to the HS GC…they would seriously freak out barring some sort of major health issue or other major issue and they might not advocate for him. We have set up minimum GPAs during Sr yr in order for him to earn the right to go to 4 year college. And yes, he has earned 1 gentleman’s B-. DS argument is that many of his classmates do worse that he does, but they all get to go to 4 year private colleges. We say that we are happy to pay for 4 years of college…when he is mature enough to take it seriously.
