I thought that most community colleges were open enrollment? You just take a test to see what level English and math you need to take.
Well, and have a high school diploma, or GED. Is he not getting one or the other?
@Arielle2 Like Alaskan said, My DD has successfully been doing what they call "dual enrollment enrichment classes" 2 days a week at the CC this past semester. Its not part of Jumpstart & she doesn't need a GED because she's only 16. She also gets to keep & accumulate all of the credits she earns for her future education. She can take whatever classes she wants as long as she takes a placement test (if there is one.) She only took one class this semester to ease her into it. Its a beginning foreign language class that required no prerequisites & no placement tests. She is loving it! She didn't want to deal with the nightmarish high school experience & this has been great alternative. There's people in her class between the ages of 15-40+ which has also been a great experience for her. This next semester she will take 2 classes & the semester after that 3 etc... Another bonus was that we didn't have to pay the admission fee's because of the 'dual enrollment' status. We still had to drop a couple hundred bucks on books, student ID & a parking pass (the last two were optional) but no admission fees saved us a huge amount of money. Did I mention that she loves it?
If you scroll back a few pages, you'll see me working thru the mental process of deciding whether to send her to the CC or not, my reluctance to enroll my homeschool with the state, & sound boarding with the others on this site. I want to tell all of you how grateful I am to have you guys here helping & sharing your experiences with me. There's a lot of great groups on BYC & you guys are invaluable!!!
