quote:We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of instruction our #2 son received in the small classes at his JUCO.
I share that minority opinion with you TXMom.
There is a broad opinion that JUCO baseball and academics are simply inferior to the large schools.
Sometimes we do hear that education is what the student makes of it.
I attended a JUCO, my son did not, didn't make much of my education, (especially English), but my JUCO history class had Washington crossing the Delaware in the wrong direction while the English crossed the Pacific and not the Atlantic.
But, in the real world, it seems that most of what I learned in JUCO history was similar to what actually happened............
However, Economics, at Texas Tech, is not the same subject at Niagra or St. Anselm.
And, so far, my son remains academically eligible...........with the help of a solid B in a JUCO summer semester history class ( and is where I learned the proper direction of Washington's Delaware Crossing and the English came across the Atlantic....sad that I have been confused all these years)
