[quote]Please go read the WaPo story at 00:39. I'm talking about the person who said it was "ridiculous" that students were taking 5 and 6 years to finish college. More than half of our nation's students are doing precisely that. Go read the article.

That was me, and what I was saying is that it's "ridiculous" to assume that a student with a B+ average (3.4) is going to take 5-6 years to finish. A 3.4 unweighted GPA is a decent GPA by most people's standards.

I am sure many other kids are taking longer to get through, but to suggest that only straight-A students will finish on time is an excessively negative prediction.

It would really help if you would read previous posts.  You are out of touch with what is happening in higher ed in America.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/12/02/why-so-many-students-are-spending-six-years-getting-a-college-degree/?utm_term=.ddbb3eac1c76[/quote]
