[lbo-talk] Education expenses, putting it in perspective.

Miles: "You transfer to a 4-year college.  You'll be more likely to
get your baccalaureate than a comparable student who starts out at a
public 4-year college."

[WS:] Right.  This worked pretty well in CA where the UC system would
automatically accept community college students who took certain
classes and achieved a certain GPA.  At least it worked like that when
I lived in CA in the 1980s.  I met quite a few students, mostly
minority and ESL, who got poor HS education, would have never made it
through the standardized testing gauntlet, but completed the first two
years in community colleges and then transferred to the UC system and
were very successful.  I really liked that system, it was closest to
the ideal system of college admission I have encountered.  I wonder if
it is still in place.
