<p>I have read pages of conversation about PCC. As a parent of a former student from 2002, and a student thinking of transferring in his JR year to PCC I just had to take the opportunity to say it sounds like the people writing these post sound very bitter. Both my son’s choose PCC with no guidance from myself. Had we had the choice we would have chosen Baptist Bible College in Springfield MO. This was where our boys wanted to be. My kids were not homeschooled. The problem with these rules lie in the fact that a lot of these kids were forced to go here and they do what ever it takes to not be where the parents want them. In some cases parents think the school will change their kids. At this age if you have not instilled Christian standards and a love for wanting to be more Christ like it is not a schools job to do that. The rules are extreme at times, but you have to remember that someone at sometime did something to cause them to make that rule! PCC is NOT legalistic in belief, and the rules are not meant to be for life, however like our US military they are training and shaping young people to make the right moral choice automatically. In the military this could mean life or death if the disciplines are not followed, there the rules could mean a life long mistake, that could change your life forever if not followed. I also have a daughter and I would feel so comfortable leaving her there. I know that no place is 100% safe, however they go to extremes to keep these girls safe. As for the accreditation issue I was personal friends with the human resources person for NASA and she said many times she looks for engineers from PCC. The hospitals there in the area offer huge bonuses to keep the nurses that graduate from there and the job fair they hold every year is so popular that unless your school is a certain size they don’t even have room for you to attend. If your looking to get out from under godly parents and live your life like the world this is not the place for you, but if you desire to be more Christ like and want a amazing education that will serve you and your future family, there are few places as well equipped to set you on your path to success.
