FTA: “Many students enroll in community colleges simply because they were handed a high-school diploma based on grade inflation and social promotion and have no clue what to do next. Fall semesters tend to produce the worst students; many simply disappear without a trace after a few weeks.”
I saw this happen in CA around 1980 when tuition was almost free. Kids didn’t know what to do after high school, so they just enrolled in community college. They didn’t study and they hung around until they took their mid-terms. When they saw their flunking grades, they dropped out. About 50% had dropped out by midway through the Fall term. What a waste!!

My late father had to pay his own way through Chaffee College in his late forties. Did so well (without a high school diploma) that he was hired by an instructor.
You are DEAD on. I am one of those!
