I have a better idea, provide summer school opportunities for college curriculum available to high school students so that students can graduate high school with an associate’s degree in General Studies. If so desired. Or summer vo-tech opportunities.

Public schools have so badly dropped the ball that by the time kids are college age, they can't read or do basic math, etc.

I work at a univ. and LOTS of freshmen students need remedial courses JUST to begin a college curriculum...

By now a 4 year undergraduate education is the new HS diploma.

We have some real numbskulls around here who couldn't find their own asses with a map... and they are ‘college students’

Big “Ed” would never allow that.

I went to a high school that pushed college prep almost exclusively. If you weren’t college bound, you didn’t matter much. High school was a total ripoff.
