Is attending community college and transferring considered an acceptable option?

<p>Yes, Pizzagirl, north.</p>

<p>Around here, so many kids go from CLC to UofI and others, because of the articulation agreement, that I would see it as an option for an ambivalent kid, or a kid who hadn’t caught the education bug. But, they do such a good job, from day one, of getting those kids on track, remediating, whatnot.</p>

<p>It’s an impressive thing.</p>

<p>I’ve taught some English classes out there, and there are plenty of kids there who are “finding out” that they are brighter than they knew. Some of them just took longer than others to “figure it out.” I like that they have another shot at it, personally. It’s only good.</p>

<p>I think, though, that we have really good community colleges surrounding Chicago, for some reason.</p>
