Interesting article that brings up some valid points but did this author attend a community college? Whenever I see a generic "Top 10" post on a blog I get really suspicious.

This is going to sound condescending, but remember those kids who had no inclination to try in school and go to a good 4 year college? That's going to be at least 75% of the students there. My brother took some summer classes there and he said they were a joke.

I've heard that teaching at one sucks, and the one or two students that are truly motivated really make the job worthwhile.

I would expect to find this especially true for a math-oriented subject like programming or engineering.
