Fourth-graders might be a little young to think about the college or university they might attend, but they do know a little something about those institutions of higher learning.
I asked some youngsters from Nansemond Parkway Elementary School to explain. Most wisely equated colleges and universities with jobs. ILLUSTRATION: Photos
``It's a place where you go to get different jobs. You take
different classes for what you want to do. I'll study
architecture.''
Raycial Bynum, 9
``It's a school where you learn. They ask you what you want to
be.''
James Scott III, 9
``It's where people 17 to 20 years old go to - for how many years?
When you get out of your college, you go to your job - if you
passed. I want to go to Notre Dame or Harvard.''
Chris McCauley, 9
``It's a place where you go to learn about new jobs and practice new
jobs. I want to be a marine biologist.''
Danielle Morgan, 9
``You start studying for your career. You learn about some of the
important things about your career.''
Danielle Bracy, 10
``It's a big school for grown-ups or half-way adults or people older
than me. I know that.''
Lauren Huffman, 9
