California community college students. They say a majority of young students enter into a community college with a goal of transferring to another college to get a bachelor’s degree, but after one semester the dream is destroyed for most students.

25% did not return to college, around 33% returned for the spring semester with lower aspirations, and around 41% came back with the aspirations in tack.

One trend they found is for all races is that if a student in the first semester took more than three transferable college level classes they were more likely to transfer to a four year college.

Another trend for all races they found is that students were more likely to transfer to another college if they had to take 0 basic skills classes.

The people at Chicago Tribune spent one full year with Montie Apostolos and her eighth grade class.

The special report has multiple videos including student interviews, photos, and articles on this class and teacher.

on the increasing costs in the Northern Virginia area for the preschool program.

on a legit few colleges that still have passing a swimming exam as part of the college requirement. Holdouts include Cornell, Columbia, and Dartmouth to name a few.

They also include the military academies which are the only colleges I would agree upon should have this requirement.

on the increasing amount of fees tacked on for college students. University of North Dakota has a fee so they can help get the sports teams into Division 1A. Montana State University Billings has a library fee.

I think a lot of these fees are nuts.

on fees and supply costs high school students are paying. Maria Georgeton is going to 1,500 bucks for her kids which includes a calculator that costs 150 bucks.
