Many colleges deal with over-crowding. But Community Colleges have it the worst. They are great methods of education. Community Colleges are easily accessible, inexpensive, have very down to earth professors. But do the Professors deal with too much? While reading the article about Daytona Beach Community College, I couldn't help but feel the stress of Professors of English and other disciplines. Most classroom sizes are too big. The NCTE believes that no english classroom should consist of more than 20 kids.
How can we solve this problem? Community Colleges often do not have the finances to support a larger faculty. Colleges should also not be prompted to deny equally qualified students into their schools. These Colleges are built to allow members of the local community opportunities to fulfill dreams in the comfort of their own neighborhoods. Should this problem rest in the hands of professors willing to devote the rest of their lives grading skyscraper-piles of paper? How can students receive vital personal response from professors?

I believe that Community Colleges are institutions to be preserved. They offer continued learning and opportunities for those who can't afford college or for those that are unsure of their academic path. We definately need to find a way to keep Community Colleges in tact and up-to-date with the best learning possible. To achieve small classroom sizes, the state has to fund community colleges so that they are fully staffed.
