Deleted my earlier tweet because it wasn’t coming off the way I wanted, but just want to say that dismissing community college out of hand is absolute bullshit. They’re amazing places for people to go
And I know so many people who have learned more at them than they did at four year colleges. I have learned a lot just by hanging out with people who went to community colleges and told me about the classes they took!
And maybe things would have been better if a rich famous guy had kept taking classes there instead of going into comedy
In California I think a lot of the profs that teach at community colleges also teach at Cal State and UCs! So you’re getting the same teachers from four year colleges.
I always thought it would be cool to be a teacher at a community college.
I think there was a lot of bias against them when I was growing up, at least in the four-year college graduate lower-middle-class world I grew up in.
But now going straight to a four year school seems like kind of a waste of money to me, especially since so many people just aren’t ready for it. I don’t know if I was, I had a REALLY hard freshman year.
