My homeschooled girls are now up to 7th grade, and there isn't anything about school that I miss. I'm beginning to think the same about college.

That certainly seems out of line with what is really going on in Alaska. The population continues to grow and the census count misses a lot of them. High school grads might be fewer, but GEDs are up. Much of the new population is in their twenties and may not be college types. A lot of kids just stop going to school so they can hang out, maybe start getting job.

New Jersey is the perennial loser in the student migration wars: more of its residents leave the state to go to college than anywhere else in the country. After having driven through New Jersey twice this weekend, north-to-south and south-to-north (and paying dearly in tolls for that privilege.... just where does all that money go I wonder?), I don't know why anyone stays there.

I remember a generation ago students from Jersey who found out of state tuition in the south lower than in-state tuition at home.

...when the largest group of high school seniors in the nation’s history, 3.2 million, are to graduate.32 million times an average $10k/year=32 billion dollars. It's all about money.

California would be orange if they weren't keeping the in-state tuition slots open for illegals. ;)

My oldest leaves Ohio for Indiana in about two weeks.
Why Indiana? 'Cause that's where Notre Dame is. :)
