I was wondering what the opinion of Community Colleges is, as far as the quality of education. Some consider it to be a low level of education while others highly support it. Is a CC education of good quality?

I read an article in my newspaper today about how a University of Missouri sociology professor believes Saginaw's inner-city schools' dress codes are inherently racist against minority dress and culture.

Excuse me, I grew up with dress codes in the islands, where schools are a lot more civil and disciplined than the states. It keeps the focus on schoolwork.

Idiot professors like that one are a prime example of why today's universities are simply not preparing students for the real world. When I went to the University of Michigan, there was an emphasis on driving students away from real careers towards liberal arts majors that would benefit the academic bums who teach those majors. Some of my professors and graduate students were total weirdos who couldn't last a day at McDonald's. A lot of the studies these schools release are laughing stocks...like the one that said men only like hot women...WOW, shock!

Should these schools lose their accreditation?

I like the idea of homeschooling and teaching my kids Christian values , but after reading a few books on homeschooling and researching about curriculums I am really overwhelmed ; I don't know where to begin . There are so many curriculums and most are more than what we can afford. Also , I don't have any exp. as a teacher . Although I know my state's standards , I am not sure what to teach first and how to send the paperwork to the school district , I don't know how to test my child and I am even worried we can't afford to pay teachers to test 3 kids when they will all be school age . My oldest will be in Kindergarten next year and I have 2 other kids under 3 , it seems like a lot of work with homeschooling and getting all the things done around the house , not to mention I work from home over the phone as a medical interpreter (only about 60 min /day) .
Any advice about how to start and what curriculum to purchase would be appreciated .

not that theres anything wrong with it. I saw there page on princetonreview.com and they dont even consider your gpa in admittance. i think its a good idea not to put too much weight on gpa but to not consider it at all? and its a huge party and football school. i think they give out more in football scholarships than academic scholarships.
