The majority of college students are in fact girls. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you look at the numbers more boys are going to college now then ever before. But the increase in the number of girls who are going to college far exceeds the increase in in the number of boys who are going to college. It comes down to this; too many people in college should not be there.

College takes in an enormous number of freshmen just to help pay the bills. They know the kids are not ready. The sad fact is that even good high schools do not measure up to good high schools of the ‘50s. One reason being that women especially who once were content to teach school now are working in other professions.
