[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people take 4 years to graduate college, regardless of how old they were when they started kindergarten. What do you think is the connection?

My redshirted kid will take 5 years to finish college. The same reason we held her back -- her disabilities -- still impact her years later. It's not a race.[/quote]

Actually most people take 5 years. [/quote]

It's very rare to take five years, except for specialized programs or disabilities.  [/quote]
Only about half of college students graduate in four years.

Like I said, while that may be true nation-wide, taking longer than four years is very rare among UMC Americans.[/quote]
That’s not what you said. [b]You said it’s rare except for specialized programs or disabilities.[/b] Unless you consider moderate finances a disability.

You are correct that greater wealth correlates to higher graduation rates. This study, for example, shows “ Affluent students graduated at an 86 percent rate, compared to 59 percent for low-income students.” I wouldn’t call 14% “very rare”, however. But maybe you would. That’s why it’s helpful to provide actual sources with numbers rather than just use undefined terms.

It wasn't I who said that.[/quote]
