It depends on what degree she is choosing. If she is majoring in diesel mechanics at a community college , I do not see why she must have four years of high school.

Diesel mechanics is a great trade, on the other hand it is training, not education. Young people today are sorely lacking in education which is what is taught in liberal arts schools. No young person should be sent into the world totally ignorant of literature, history, government etc. When they are sent out with no education they are liable to be ignorant enough to vote Democrat.

The public high schools are far from egalitarian institutions which up lift the common masses from the shackles of ignorance.The children in honors and advanced classes would be stupid to go to a community college. However the children who are being dumbed down in regular and slow classes would be better off in community colleges. Most of the material taught in the regular and basic classes has been watered down. I think most people gain more from an afternoon spent in a library than four years spent in a public high school. If you feel that children should be exposed to culture in school then lock horns with the educational establishment who seem to use the public schools as a dumbing down tool.

Which is why the NEA is against education.
