What About Entrance Exams?

What about them? Some people are good at taking tests, some aren't. If your child isn't there are options. One is to take classes to learn test-taking skills. Another is to attend community college first. This option has a lot going for it: no entrance exam, ease into college, try things out while deciding on a major, etc., etc.

This is not "taking the easy way out" because you're "too lazy to go to a real college." Whatever helps a particular student be successful is right for that student.

Most community colleges are excellent and provide a wonderful education.

But what about getting the best jobs? Will opportunities be missed by taking this route? Stay tuned...
