My kids were accepted to community college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. Getting accepted there was a long trial of bureaucratic hoop jumping by itself.
Then when the kids were 15, 14, and 13 we moved to a new state. Getting the younger two re-enrolled in college was definitely not straight forward even with having many of the general college courses completed and near perfect grade point averages. The state university, at first rejected the 14 year old but a few days before classes were to start they called and said they had changed their minds. She could attend. The youngest ( 13) was accepted to the community college.
In the end, the law stated that anyone with 30 community college or college credits would automatically be accepted by the state university. The older girl decided to finish her few remaining general courses at the community college, and the younger did her’s by attending community college and one year at a very expensive private college. The two girls both finished B.S. degrees in mathematics at the state university at the age of 18.
Honestly....Charles Murray is right. We should dump college for most people and move toward qualifying exams. Nearly everything the girls learned could have been put on the Internet, except for the lab courses. The quality would likely be better, as well. They could likely have finished sooner that they did, as well, and moved on to graduate school and an even earlier age.
Then how would the leftist professors get paid if you did everything online!?!
