COMMUNITY COLLEGES

The problems with community colleges: students spend money taking a lot of classes there and when they try to transfer those credits to 4 year colleges, generally they lose i/3 one third of those classes. And It's not that they find good jobs with those degrees in general, it's almost like everyone knows tacitely that apart from some fields, community colleges are remedial colleges. And the classes taught there seem not to go all the way into the subjects, that's why most of them are not accepted by 4 years colleges.

Something is definitely wrong with community colleges: students should go through remedials before they attack higher level subjects, and then they should be thought those subjects at the same level they teach them at 4 years college. And if it is technology that they're being taught, it should be at par with what employers require in order to be competitive, they should be taught and should be expected to reach the highest level. Some programs are good like some of the nursing programs.

I understand they are community colleges to serve the communities, but they should be expected to serve these communities at the highest level. They shouldn't be expected to bring themselves to the level of these communities in some fields. They should be able to help those communities be competitive. I don't like the term community college anyway, it sounds like a loser name because the communities that need those kinds of colleges tend to have a lot of needs, and the kinds of colleges seem to be called to be stuck to the standards at the reach of these communities. They need capable colleges for capable people. That's what they need.

They should be called CAPABLE CORE COLLEGES at the service of the community :) . And before students are admitted into ACT ( ASSOCIATE COLLEGE of TECHNOLOGY... and APPLIED SCIENCES for ACTAS ) , AHSSC ( ASSOCIATE HUMANITIES and SOCIAL SCIENCES COLLEGE), and CCHANCES (CORE COLLEGE of HEALTH ARTS, NURSING, CLINICAL EDUCATION and SCIENCES), They should get their COHRE ( COLLEGE OPPORTUNITIES with HUMANITIES REMEDIAL EDUCATION) diploma.
