In addition, much of what community colleges teach is remedial, so what is a degree from this kind of education worth? The benefit of going to a community college is learning to organize, interface and have an instructor with whom you engage. That relationship is critical to encouraging and guiding the growth of a late blooming student. The benefit of community college education is lost in promoting online education. This kind of instruction is not equivalent to a campus college experience and will fail to produce critical thinkers. It will do nothing to ensure improved communication skills in those it purportedly educates. Degrees coming from such organizations may fulfill test requirements, but they do not support personal growth and the lifelong curiosity that a classroom full of other learners and an enthusiastic teacher imparts.</p>Lynn S.Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:01:49 -0000
