My youngest is officially a college student, and stupid crap guidance couselors say..
#2
You know I'm not surprised. In fairness, they should know their jobs. But, in reality, anyone who spends the kind of time we do here immersed in all things education will obviously be smarter than the average bear when it comes to edu-policy. I spent some time "helping" our dual enrollment coordinator in May because there were some errors in the printed material they sent out to students - specifically calling some courses "transfer" when they were non-transfer. One of my frustrations is having worked in the CC system, because I'm sure people hear me say "don't assume they know" and they think that is unique to the school I worked for. Of course, it isn't, because these workers are human employees who (presumably) go home and immerse themselves in un-education related hobbies lol. Most people don't bother to learn a system, they just learn their job, and sometimes they get it wrong...but those little mistakes can add a year to a degree plan. Buyer beware.

So, I rant endlessly on developmental courses. I won't hop onto that soapbox today, I was just up there yesterday over on FB lol.

Glad your girlie got all squared away. Smile
