[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really. If a kid wants to go to college they will be able to go. It may not be their first choice but that is life.

We have much bigger issues in this country than whether Larlo gets into the state flagship her parents think she deserves bc she had x EC and x stats.

This is mostly a UMC class anxiety issue. [/quote]
Agreed. In other countries, if your kid does not have top test scores or is not in the top of the class, [b]they don’t go to college.[/b] Period. Americans are so lucky they live in a country where even an average student can go to college. [/quote]

BS.  They just don't go to the top college.  They do get to go to *a* college.[/quote]
Wrong, they don’t go to “a college”, they go to “no college”. That’s how it works in most other countries. Only the top students go to college. Everyone else chooses either trade school, work or some kind of apprenticeship. Again, we are very lucky in this country. There are so many things we take for granted and college is one of them.

We send more people to college than we should.  The quality of work has gone down and many are not only not academically prepared, but not intellectually able to meet standards of the past.  Then we graduate too many people in soft majors and they can't find a job to pay back their loans.  [/quote]
