Anyone here graduate highschool early and start Comunity College?

My little brother is having a lot of trouble with high school… Things just aren’t working out. I suggested to our mother that maybe he get his GED (or equivalent) and just start taking classes at the local city college until he can transfer into a real college. He’ll be seventeen in a few months but he’s never had much responsibility. I’m under the impression that having to haul himself to classes and then run all over campus would help him learn some time management and dependability skills. Which is just a bonus over getting him into a better learning environment.

Any suggestions?
